Chiller Territory

AIRIC · Aug 23, 2005

I have to work the weekend so I have today on tomorrow off. My wife and I were planning an all day trip but I'm pretty burnt out so we took a 4-hour drive along the Toronto lakefront and strayed into Chiller's territory where we went for a few walks.

Some pics of the Scarborough Bluffs from the top.

Then we visited the Rosetta McCain Gardens on Kingston Rd.

The Monarchs were everywhere

Cheers,

Eric

Eric, the time has come at last when even I am running out of words to express how much I like to look at your photos over and again!

What I am wondering about is: how much of the really close close-ups of the butterflies, for example, are crops from larger frames? But you probably have both equipment and "the eye" to frame your pictures just in the way they are shown here, right?

The first butterfly image was shot with a 18-70mm lens and slightly cropped. I was within a few feet of the butterflies. The last image was with a 300mm at about 6 feet. These butterflies were really close and often landed on us.

Thanks for all the comments everyone. The only thing I noticed after looking at these images again is the horizon on the first few is a little off.

Thanks, I really kicked myself for not seeing the horizon before I posted. I will leave it as is for punishment and I will maybe remember to check next time.

Just unbelievable Airic. The photos of the bluffs are just stunning. I was down there last night, and there is a lot of damage from the storms. I will try to scale them soon and see if I can get some shots. The edges of the bluffs are still to soft to walk over yet and there are a lot of downed trees. I am thining you were at the bottom of Midland ave?
Did you see the old schoolhouse at Rosetta? Love the butterfly image. All of these are just amazing Airic. Thanks for sharing.
