Butterfly Photographers Handbook

Thefirst section of the book deals with the butterfly itself (types,behaviors, habitats, etc.), and the second part provides informationon how to photograph these creatures. Many readers will be able tostart taking great photographs after reading just a few chapters inthis book. The author is pleased to dedicate this book to Keith P.Tomlinson, administrator of Meadowlark Botanical Gardens, in Vienna,VA. He took the unprecedented planting native plants, bushes, andtrees in a botanical garden. Most administrators of public gardenswould have chosen the safe approach and planted beautiful, exoticflowering plants from all over the world—never such “mundane”plants as Joe Pye weed, milkweed (who ever would have thought aboutplanting weeds!), or the hundreds of other plants commonly foundthroughout the Potomac River watershed. This collection of nativeplants has allowed Meadowlark Botanical Gardens to flourish as a safehaven for a large,andgrowing, number of butterflies, birds, reptiles, and animals.
