‘Royal Monarch’ has a special poignancy for me as hidden in the spectacularly obvious, ...there are indications of life’s hardships and mortality… the butterfly itself has a damaged wing and the sunflower a damaged petal… Things are not always are as they seem at face value, behind the smiling face of our friends, family and colleagues / there lie scattered amongst the shards of happiness little splinters of hardships and heart-aches… Taken just outside Mogale city (Krugersdorp) in Gauteng, RSA (Taken while test driving a Canon EOS 350D – Still with the Sigma 300mm lens on macro setting.) Regards, Mike

I’ve entered the word of layering images and it is SO MUCH FUN! After my first week of practice this is the first creation I felt was worthy of upload to RB. This work of art includes the combination of 2 images – a monarch butterfly, and a black-eyed susan. I enhanced the colors in 3 sections of the monarch’s wing to tie the colors in the composition together and purposely made the butterfly smaller than life. I have entered an entirely new world here and am excited at the possibilities that lie ahead as I search through my extensive collection of images for future works :o) / / Original floral image. / / FLORAL GALLERY / ADD RENEE TO YOUR WATCHLIST

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.

A monarch Butterflies are beautiful, flying insects with large scaly wings. Like all insects, they have six jointed legs, 3 body parts, a pair of antennae, compound eyes, and an exoskeleton. The three body parts are the head, thorax (the chest), and abdomen (the tail end). The four wings and the six legs of the butterfly are attached to the thorax. The thorax contains the muscles that make the legs and wings move. Butterfly Estates Gardens at Fort Myers, Florida

Beautiful Monarch Butterfly perched on a butterfly bush, backlit and soft background kind of like the butterfly bush put a spell on the Monarch so that it would stay for a long time and it did, much to my great joy! Origonal image taken in Shady Cove, Oregon

Featured in Friends of Bangor and North Down Camera Club, Northern Ireland August 23, 2009. Best Viewed Full Size This little image is only one of nearly 400 (yes, I discovered the rapid fire thingie on the new camera over the weekend) I took of these most amazing creatures. It means the world to me that I was able to play with them as I’ve never seen a Monarch in our garden in Maryland. The “lawn” to the cabin next to ours on Blue Knob Mountain in Claysburg Pennsylvania has been left uncut all summer … and the most incredible wild vegetation has grown up. One is this pretty purple flowered stalk … which happen to be very much beloved by the Monarch Butterflies. Image taken with the Nikon D300 and the 70-300mm vr Nikon lens at shutter speed 1/160, aperture f/10.0, exp 0.00, iso 800. Focal length 220mm.

Featured in Bug Hunt! August 30, 2009. / Featured in Light In The Darkness August 26, 2009. Best on Full Size Another of the many monarch butterfly shots crammed into my computer from the August 16, 2009 shoot on Blue Knob Mountain in Claysburg, PA. Camera used was the Nikon D300 with the 70-300mm vr Nikon lens. Shutter 1/400, aperture f/9.0, exp. -.33, iso 800. This one got the layered treatment in Photoshop along with some levels work. Thanks to Princess of Shadows at Deviant Art for the textures.

Featured in Digital Photography group – September 2009 / Featured in Healing Through Art group – October 2009 In August, 2007 my Mom was too sick to go out to her gardens to find monarch caterpillars as she had done in previous years. She had gotten a butterfly cage for herself and for the younger grandkids so they could watch the life cycle of a monarch. That year Mom insisted that each one of us watch this miracle take place, from a tiny caterpillar, to forming it’s chrysalis, to emerging into a beautiful monarch. It was incredible! My sister, Rochelle, died in a car accident in 1995 and was buried in the cemetery just down the street from Mom and Dad’s house. Since Mom was too sick by the fall of 2007 to plant the pots at the cemetery, she asked that we find some pretty yellow mums to put down there. She didn’t want any other color. Yellow it was! As weeks passed, Mom was sleeping a lot more and one of my sisters said that it was almost like Mom was going through the same thing a monarch does. Her body was transforming into something more beautiful. Mom passed away October 17, 2007 from a very rare cancer, Neuroendocrine Carcinoma. She was buried on October 20th. While we were at the cemetery for the service, I was standing by one of the potted mums and a monarch came and landed on it! It opened and closed it’s wings several times before flying to the other mum. We were thrilled! None of us had seen a monarch for weeks as the majority of them migrate through Iowa in September. Without knowing it, I think Mom was trying to tell us to look for her on the yellow mums. Since then I have had monarchs fly around me, so close I can hear their wings flutter. I’ve been able to put my finger out and have them crawl onto it. Whenever I see a monarch, I know that it’s Mom watching over me. Featured in Digital Photography – September 2009

Featured in As Is Photography September 20, 2009. This is an AS IS photograph of a female monarch butterfly along side the chrysalis she just emerged from. Photo taken with a Canon EOS Rebel XTi and 100mm f/2.8 macro lens on my property in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. The Monarch is a milkweed butterfly (subfamily Danainae), in the family Nymphalidae. It is perhaps the best known of all North American butterflies. Female Monarchs (as shown here) have darker veins on their wings, and the males have a spot called the “androconium” in the center of each hind wing from which pheromones are released. Males are also slightly larger. The larvae and the butterflies retain poisonous glycosides from their larval host plant, the milkweed, so they become distasteful to potential predators. The monarch butterfly eats only milkweed as larvae. This highly effective defense strategy shields them against almost all predators that soon learn to avoid these species after attempting to eat them.

Librada: Its source is a Spanish expression meaning “The chosen one.” My mother’s name was Librada. She died of a rare disease called Scleroderma. She passed away on 11/29/94 and today marks 15 years since her death. She was only 44 years old. I can’t believe how time goes by so quickly. It seemed like yesterday when I last held her hand. One of her hobbies was collecting butterflies. I think of her always, especially when I see butterflies :) I love you mom and I miss you dearly.
