A cool pic I took I'm having printed, from Tucson Botanical Garden ...

At least I think it's pretty cool

I'm curious if it takes a second to figure out what it is when you don't already know?

That's what I'z kinda hoping

It was taken in the Butterfly House.

It's a beautiful, multi-colored glass dish, with slices of oranges laid in it, and four butterflies have landed on it to slurp on the oranges. Then I rotated it 90 degrees to mess with your brain

Thank you for sharing. You should definitely have that printed (need more caffeine).

There are a variety of things like this set up inside to attract/feed the multi-colored wondrous creatures that live inside (and many of those provide cool photo ops).

It's a damn cool place in general actually, the whole of the gardens is beautiful.
