Joseph Popp Butterfly Conservatory

On Thursday, my friend Pat and I took off to visit the Joseph Popp Butterfly Conservatory in Oneonta, NY.

The weather was great for travel, and they are only a little over an hour away. While smaller than Magic Wings, this conservatory had a most amazing array of beautiful birds, iguanas, turtles, koi, and a gecko in addition to the butterflies. You can't use flash photography in the conservatory so I took a LOT of photos to allow for the blur you can get trying to photograph the quick-moving birds. We had a grand day, and it was a perfect way to spend the day. On the second page you can see Pat getting her shot, and me with a friend...a large Walking Stick. They grow 'em big somewhere!
