I was going through some monarch butterfly pics from last summer & came across this beauty taken last August. I'm very concerned about the reports that have come from Mexico about their low numbers this past winter. Hopefully they will bounce back.

Hello everyone. Sorry for the long absence. I've been taking a break for a while. Here are some closeup shots of a young doe taken this week in my mother's backyard in northern Wisconsin.

A lovely female monarch butterfly on New England aster this morning.

You don't need a big, expensive lens to get good shots of monarchs. These photos were taken today with a standard 50mm lens. You just need to be patient and not make any sudden movements.

@CStamp It walked over to an island where I couldn't see what happened next. They've been known to bite off more than they can chew.

@CStamp Yeah, it definitely looks painful. 😆
