I feel I need certain things in my project each year and a butterfly is one of those shots. The only one in my project this year was one I took last year. But when I went to the beach this afternoon for some beach-foliage pictures, there were monarchs flying about. They didn't land that I saw which has been my problem most of the year. So I put my camera on manual focus and shot the guy several times as he flew by. This was the best of my captures. Now there are lots better shots of monarchs but I am happy to have my annual shot. I can check that off and I like it skimming over the beach grasses. BOB
I had not seen ONE Monarch all summer- in fact I had not seen any butterflies this summer that I can remember- at least not in my garden. But I finally saw a Monarch this Sunday. Unfortunately I did not have the ability to photograph it. sigh.... Well done on your shot though!
