While hitting Route 66, I popped into 12 locations in the Mojave for a spot of urbexing. Visit my other blog – urbex.photosbydenn.is/category/usa/2 – for the trip reports.

After a few weeks of snow, we elected to visit Papilorama, a tropical butterfly zoo located just outside Bern. The girls had fun playing with the butterflies and the bats in the noctural area. Well worth a visit on a lazy weekend. www.papilorama.ch Visit the gallery here.
