Photography->Butterflies
This monarch was filling up the tank on nectar for the long migration south. She stayed put long enough for me to try out my closeup lens. I had hoped to catch a glimpse of the monarchs roosting in the trees, but the winds changed and blew them away except for a few stragglers. If you want to know more check this info about their Migration You may be able to see them if you live further south!

Beautiful, Hilda! You must tell what lens you are using here, please? lol I know that must be quite a sight to see a whole group of them hanging in the trees. Well, next year. I read your link and it appears that the monarchs should be migrating through here right about now.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

I really enjoy hearing from my caedes friends.
Gee, after going through that web site this guy looks pretty lonely :) I would love to see this, but I couldn't help notice on the migration map that they go around Tennessee -lol. Maybe they don't like banjos. :)

Super clear post, Hilda. One of the best I've seen on here, and while the elements weren't right this year, there's always next!! Such vibrant color you captured!

I'm always in awe of such butterfly shots. I've never had one of these little guys stay put long enough for me to get a decent shot off. Beautiful DT, Hilda!

Much of the beauty in life is found in people who care.
Your butterfly photos are just astounding. I love them all so very much.

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that everyone believing into Him should not perish but have eternal life.
I didn't know monarch butterflies migrated, that's pretty amazing for a creature with such a short lifespan !! Thanx 4 the info link in Your narrative.
