I have been hearing that the Monarch butterfly's habitat is being destroyed, and I know that last year I saw only a few, compared to times before. you can click here to read more
It looks like the middle of winter out there today, I thought this might be a nice post for a crappy weather day, that some of us are having.I reworked the original that can be found somewhere in my large gallery, I cropped it, and did some editing in perfect effects 4 for this finished look.
Thank you for commenting.

We Humans or should I say these large companies are destroying the planet for profit..What happens when there is nothing left to destroy..No more profits then..Nice one of this once abundant species..R.

What a beautiful Butterfly and image, Sandi.
What a sad state we have put this beauty in . Seems we are only concerned with the almighty dollar . I think Standing Bear said it quite well many years ago .

that one is perfect! the clarity is great, color is true, love the green melt you got for a background. yeah i heard something like that as well. i think it depends on the weather considering how far south they fly to migrate. last year with the warmer spring they were everywhere here.

Doing nothing is very hard to do...you never know when you're finished.
Beautiful Color and Detail Sandy.

This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By. Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
Beautiful macro of this butterfly Sandi. We are just starting to see some of them flutter around the yard here in Italy. It's so hard to get them to pose for me!

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
That is so sad to read your link, we need to save them. Another beautiful capture girlfriend

Excellent macro shot Tigz, sorry to hear the Monarchs are declining in numbers, of even more concern is the Bee population!

A beautiful shot of the monarch Sandi. I saw recently (again) s documentary over their impressive migration. Hope they are not in danger.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
I didn't see very many last year either, Tigz. I thought it was because it was so dry.
Beautiful post.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Sandi, thanks for the link. I've checked it out, but what shall I say?
We had a rather similar story in my small country. A subsidized interest group claimed that a special butterfly species was threatened with extinction here. They seemed to get right because there were hardly any to be seen in the summer of 2012. The money from supporters flooded inside. In the summer of 2013 there were so much to see however that they almost formed a plague, and that was not because of the gained money. Nature is strong. Often people are too concerned. It's good when people are worried based on facts. On the other hand it's not right when their worries are based on assumptions and sentiments. I can't judge here what's the reality with the Monarch's. The in this case worried people may be right, and that would be bad.
Thanks however for your wonderful image.
Regards, Cornelius.

Try to change what you can't accept, but accept what you can't change. Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.
A super post with wonderful color and detail and most welcome as I too look out my window and see nothing but swirls of white stuff blowing through the air and accumulating on the ground...also very concerned to hear of the declining numbers of monarchs and other species in nature.

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have any film.
Excellent work Sandi - and a perfect antidote to the crappy weather!

Such a nice butterfly picture Sandi. The color and the composition is just great. I hate to hear of the butterfly's plight. It really is upsetting and exasperating at the same time.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
I heard that they were in danger. They migrate from you down to Mexico for the winter and the forests there are in danger. This is a very good and very beautiful capture.

I can't recall the last time I saw a monarch butterfly. A great close up on this beauty, Sandi. Wonderful colours and a good DoF in the photo.

Sometimes the appropriate response to reality is to go insane. -- Philip K. Dick, Valis
