Lisbon Weekly Photo

The idea came up after visiting several “DailyPhoto” sites, particularly the one from Paris, which is my other favorite city. Since LisbonDailyPhoto was getting posts very irregularly, I decided to create this place. Although my skills and my Exilim Z110 are very limited, I hope to deserve your visit. Please leave your comments (any comments) so I can improve.

Borboletarium

Tomorrow the Europe's first Borboletarium (does this word exists?) will be inaugurated in Lisbon at the Botanic Garden. It will be permanently open to the public next Monday from 10h to 17h. There we can closely watch the several phases of the butterfly's life cycle, from the egg to the tiny caterpillars (larvae), later chrysalis and finally adult butterfly.
These Monarch butterflies (or Danaus plexippus) pictures were taken last September when the Borboletarium opened to the public for a day.

Well this is something I had no idea about Carlos, so I am really grateful. It looks a must-visit and hopefully an easier way to take photos of borboletas - no, I can't confirm the word. I was only thinking of my last visit to the Botanical Gardens earlier tonight!
