We went to an exhibit titled “Objects of Wonder: From the Collections of the National Museum of Natural History,” an interesting display of items that examines how scientists use the Smithsonian collections to enlighten and illuminate our understanding of nature and human culture. I took a few pictures, but most of it was more appropriate for viewing and reading about than photographing.

This particular exhibit was on what causes the color blue, which of course I don’t remember now, but the butterflies were beautiful and as close as I’ll ever get to photographing them.
