Photographer Kelvin Hudson came across a magical sight that would typically be reserved for a fairytale. While in the forest, he captured an image of a tree partially cloaked with a cluster of blue morpho butterflies. A majority of the brilliant winged creatures gathered around the trunk of the tree while others spread out in small groups on surrounding branches. The resulting image is awe-inspiring.

I've seen these when I visited Costa Rica a few years ago. Absolutely beautiful butterfly. The adults only live for 3 to 4 weeks. The entire life cycle is about 4 months. All that beauty, to be born and to die in 4 months.

Yeah, I've seen that owl picture floating around the web recently. Pretty amazing. Just imagine being a mouse or squirrel scurrying along and all of a sudden, the tree comes alive. It isn't for nothing that the great gray owl in the photo is called the Phantom of the North.
