This week, Patti has challenged us to bring attention to the subject in our photo by filling the frame with that subject. I chose a selection of photos from this year’s butterfly garden.


Although several varieties of butterflies visited the garden this summer, the Monarchs have been few and far between until today. Early this morning, there were about eight different Monarchs feasting on the flowers.



Many thanks to Patti for this weeks Lens-Artists Photo Challenge – Filling the Frame
Wow – when eight monarchs show up – I think you made the right call- grab the camera! Loved your framing too

Thank you! They were too busy eating to lay any attention to me.

Oh that is nice. We were in a road trip and in back of a rest area they had a butterfly garden planted by an employee. So glad the lady working there told us about it- so nice…

Our herd of monarchs finally left in the past few weeks. I made sure to tell them to stop at your place on their journey south!
