Monarch and the Oak Leaf

Written by Jackie D'Elia  |  Published on October 22, 2010

This Monarch Butterfly is resting on the leaf of an oak. It seems to like this particular spot to rest at, as I observed this on several occassion during the afternoon. Where do you see butterflies resting in your garden?

    Jackie, I went through your last posts and should say that I am amazed by your macro shots! And those are actually not shots, they are images, terrific images. I mean it! You are a great photographer!

    Thank you Tatyana 🙂 I think the camera really does help. What I’ve learned over time is how to use lighting and angles to my advantage.

    Your photos are beautiful and I really like the Hydrangea post. Those images could be on the cover of a book!

    On our vehicles tires where the dark surface has soaked up solar heat! I guess they don’t care about the “natural” aspect.
