I'm trying to get as many butterflies captures as I can, before long they will be again till next year.

I thought this Monarch gave me a good poise, she picked the right flower I thought to bring out her beauty.

I used the canon 70-200mm f/4L lens and the kenko DGX 1.4x converter.

Thanks my friends for viewing, and commenting.

Incredible clarity in this Sandi - it looks like it could fly off my desktop.

I like the angle of this shot, Tigs. It is hard to be unique when it comes to flutterby/foofy shots, but I think you have a stand-out image here. Well done.

Emptiness is not nothingness. It is simply the opposite of full of it.

Excellent shot of the Foofy Under The Monarch. LOL. The color and the clarity are top notch, Sandi. The lighting is perfect, too. Another outstanding shot.

So elegant a pose and all so colour co-ordinated - all it needed was a talented photographer to come along at the exact right moment - and she did, and the result is perfect :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .
