Hey now, where did you see all those many, many butterflies then??? And all the same sort? Are they attracted by that bush?
Also I like Photo 4 very much, and the moon rise pics are nice, though, yes, in the last the feathered lasso and selective brightening of the bottom part do show. And I miss a bit of detail in the moon. But the colours are wonderful!
Hmmm, now that it's been mentioned, I also see that halo... Oh well...
LaFoto, I saw those butterflies in one wildlife preserve, here, in Connecticut. It happens to be in a place where the Atlantic Ocean water mixes with fresh water, which creates a particular climate zone.
Apparently, these Monarch butterflies gather in this area before they migrate to Mexico.
