Monarch
I don’t often see monarch butterflies, so when I spotted this one at Hodges Gardens near Many, Louisiana, I employed my husband’s help in trying to get a good shot at it. Tommy stood guard at the upper level of the butterfly garden while I posted myself in the lower portion. Thanks to my husband’s keen eye, I finally relocated the elusive flutterer and got this photo of it to which I’ve applied some PS filters.

Wow Bonnie, nice catch! What lens did you use? This is outstanding! Glad Tommy spotted this lovely critter for you. Yay!

Hi, Kimmie, I used the Nikon 105 mm macro lens on the Nikon D300. Without Tommy’s keen eyes, I would have missed this monarch. Thanks for the kind words.

This is exquisite, Bonnie. You and your husband must have really quick / great reaction time. The composition is perfect. I REALLY love the colors and how the butterfly just jumps right out at you from the soft backgound. Truly gorgeous shot!

Thank you, Catherine! My daughter’s name is Catherine (spelled the same way) and I’ve been praying that one day she might have a daughter named Cecelia which I see is part of your screen name, too! And to top things off, TODAY, November 22, is the Feast of St. Cecelia! Happy Feast Day. I feel blessed to have all these lovely names coming my way today via you!
