**Unfortunately my Mom passed away Wednesday night, so Ron & I won't be on our way back to MA until Sunday. Mary has graciously agreed to be the organizer of this event. She is a lot of fun, and I'm sure everyone will have a great time at the Butterfly Place.**

For our excursion this month we'll venture a little further in order to photograph...butterflies!

The Butterfly Place opens for the CAPE Group at 8a.m. on March 16, 2008. We'll have 2 full hours to photograph butterflies before the general public gains entry. If you've ever wanted to experiment with macro photography, butterflies make great subjects!

About The Butterfly Place
The Butterfly Place is an indoor living environment which has been carefully designed for the propagation and development of some of nature's most colorful living creations. This wonderful man-made habitat is contained within a 3,100 sq. ft. glass atrium building towering to a height of over 27 ft. at its peak. Within this atrium's living butterfly environment can be found a variety of colorful plants and shrubs, each of which has been selected as a source of nectar for the butterflies.
At any given time, the atrium may contain up to 500 butterflies representing as many as 50 different species from around the world, although butterflies which are native to the New England region are featured whenever possible.
