Butterfly Farms​ In Encinitas: Photos Of The Day

ENCINITAS, CA — A Patch reader and Encinitas resident, who requested Patch not publish her name, captured these photos at Butterfly Farms in Encinitas. The nonprofit organization on Saxony Road recently opened its grounds to the public.

"The butterflies are hatched on the grounds of this unique conservation vivarium and released by the caring butterfly wranglers as shown in this photograph," she said.

Thanks for sharing!

If you have an awesome picture of nature, breathtaking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch.

We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty that is San Diego County, and that show off your unique talents.

Send your photos to kristina.houck@patch.com. Be sure to include photo credit information, when and where the shot was taken, and any other details about what was going on.
