What a wonderful family – I’ve gotten to know them a bit since we moved here almost a year ago, and they’re just nice people. I like nice people. And they’re all so good-looking! Despite it being so cold, and snowing, they were all troopers – doing everything I asked them to!

Here’s a sneak peek…

…or, as the rest of us (besides my two year old) call them, butterflies. A lot of them. Thank you, thank you, Butterfly Pavilion. I heart thee.

All shot with my trusty Canon 100mm macro, using all natural light. Though I can’t say I didn’t have lens envy of the other photographer there, shooting with a 180mm macro and a real ring flash. Someday…

Sometimes (rarely, let’s be honest), I appreciate the beautiful storm clouds here in Seattle. Just a few from our Seattle Center expedition today…

Happy Valentine’s Day – from me to you! xoxoxoxo
