Here's how I ended up at MoMA without my camera. I had my camera and backpack, and a security guard said I couldn't bring it in (after a different one said I could). I didn't want to check it (the line was soooo long and it wasn't for valuables), so my husband ran everything back to our hotel. I didn't realize it was the backpack that was a no-no, not my camera. I should have asked. When I got inside I saw all kinds of people with cameras (and some with backpacks--grrr.) When I checked online later, I saw that the policy was no backpacks, but cameras were okay as long as you didn't use flash. Of course I saw all kinds of people using flash. Lesson learned and I checked camera/bag policies for the places we went the rest of the time.
Boring story--aren't you sorry you asked?

This is beautiful color!
Not a boring story, a good reminder. I always want to bring my camera to concerts, but the tickets say no cameras. When I get there, everyone has one but me! Gorgeous butterfly.
Nice shot.. Sorry you had to leave the camera, even accidentally.
Oh, I love that you told us all this! Some day, I'm going to go there, and now you've forewarned me! How nice of your husband to run it back (although unnecessarily; did you tell him?) Becky, I love the detail you got in the butterfly's wings! Your trip sounds like it was such a nice balance between city and nature!
Your NYC shots are so awesome!Makes me want to go photobomb a wax figure. Your husband was so nice to run your camera to the hotel...mine would have griped.
I love the color and all the details on that butterfly. I know it is hard to catch them open winged like that...
Sorry about your backpack / camera at MOMA dealing - I hate seeing inconsistency like that. But a good reminder for us all to check ahead!
This is so vibrant and beautiful! Great capture!
Stunning! He is almost shiny. You really have the most stunning color Becky. I know what you mean...I learned that lesson at a basketball game too. No backpack, but my camera could have been brought in. Instead it stayed locked up in my car, where I worried about it desperately.
That is one beautiful butterfly - perfect shot!! I went to the butterfly exhibit and found it very hard to get a good shot - too many people, very hot, moving kids and butterflies!! ;)
Gorgeous butterfly! And DARNIT about the camera/backpack! I would be so ticked! LOL
The same thing happened to me in Vienna, I was so upset when I realized my mistake.
Gorgeous butterfly, I love the color!
The colors are so fantastic in this.
