Ann,

Here's to being in the right place at the right time and being ready. Also like the wings on both sides of that blade of grass. :)

Ann, I am thinking that you are looking for Spring to be here.  Hmm, not a bad thought....

Nice photo ma'am.

Ann, what a great shot! I do love butterflies, they are so regal. I was not able to get any photos of them this year, perhaps next season!

Ann, that is a great shot!  I can't catch one sitting still long enough to get such a clear photo.

Ann, I love your picture.  You have to look at the Market report I posted this morning. Great minds must think alike. I took my picture about a month ago and have been looking for a place to post it... Yours is beautiful!

Nice picture.  It is like being right there.  Are you a preying mantis?

Ann, nice picture.  I did not see hardly any butterflies around here this year which is unusual. Hopefully they will be back next year.

Oh my goodness, that is a marvelous monarch Ann! I love the white polka-dots on the edges of their wings, they are just beautiful, and you got a great shot Ann!

Jim,

He was very normal in size, the telephoto lense was helpful.

George,

We did not have as many this year either.  I think the weather was the problem.
