Each year, the Powell Gardens hosts a Festival of Butterflies that allows visitors to interact with caterpillars and butterflies alike.  As much as I love butterflies, there was no way I was going to miss this chance to interact with the delicate, winged beauties.

Butterfly Photo #1.  I think this might be a Blue Morpho with its wings closed.

Butterfly Photo #2.  I believe this is a Pipevine Swallowtail.

Butterfly Photo #3.  I am not sure about this butterfly.  Does anyone know what it is?
