| Yellow Cone-flowers provide endless joy to these tiny butterflies |

Each day I watch them go, as they leave to make their awesome trek to Mexico along with the Monarchs.
I LOVE macro photography, so these are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHey Andi
DeleteThanks so much for he compliment -- it means a lot:)
Would you believe these aren't technically macro. I used my zoom lens (70 - 300mm) to get in as close as possible without startling them. I zoom out as far as possible then move in as close as the lens will focus.
Wow - your photographs are stunning! Thanks so much for sharing them on the Tuesday Archive Link up.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie thanks so much :) I was so fortunate that these sweeties chose my garden to hang out in.
DeleteI'll be doing a post with tips on doing macro photos soon so stay tuned!
Your pictures are beautiful... you should send them into a magazine and have them published... I have never seem such amazing ones ever... stopping over from 40over blog hop. hope you will take the time and come look at my blog
