Pictures From the Woods
Fly and Butterfly
Posted by Bill Ault (GBA, Canada) on 27 August 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
Late August is Monarch season in these parts and I've spent a couple of days trying to get a good shot - this one maybe not the best but a favourite with the fly crowding in for some lens time....

@Observing: Maybe close but not perfect or I'd have to retire ;-)

Nice shot. The blurred foliage makes a nice background for the butterfly.

There's that milkweed again too... excellent macro and I'm looking forward to the butterfly migration that starts next month for us.
