This beautiful female Monarch butterfly emerged from her chrysalis yesterday. My first encounter with her was when she was merely a tiny cream colored egg on the underside of a milkweed leaf. I brought her inside, along with several siblings, to take care of. When it came time to release her, I put her on a geranium plant where she stayed for perhaps thirty minutes or more, allowing me to photograph her. Before flying away, she landed on my head. I think this was her way of saying goodbye!

I am sure there will be many obstacles along the way but I certainly hope she does arrive in Mexico safely...:)

Thank you Renchelle for the nice comment regarding my pic. I applied the texture in photoshop. It was a texture I downloaded from a free website. Thanks again for lookimg at my butterfly photo. Jan

This is a pic of a monarch butterfly that I took care of from the egg stage. He (a male) had just emerged from his chrysalis a few hours before I took this photo. I applied a subtle texture to mask out the screen in the background. He was beautiful!

Jan,
I cannot find my original details and it was China not Hong Kong, but these are the ones:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Meike-Auto-AF-Focus-Macro-Extension-Tube-for-CANON-EOS-650D-600D-550D/271260236910?rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D74%26meid%3D798394298297004149%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D1048%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D271202999360%26

Thank you for the link. I checked it out and am going to order a set. I have a Sony DSLR A350 camera and Meike has a set that will fit my camers. I wonder if there is much difference in the quality between the metal and the plastic extensions. Thanks again for all your posts...Jan

If you do a search for "Meike Auto AF Focus Macro Extension Tube for CANON" on your side of the big pond you should come up with a few options as they seem to be sold by many people. There is somebody selling them here locally with a 250% markup.

I have been trying to do close-ups for about ten years now, first with my Fuji SS5500 then my Canon 350D and now my 450D. Initially with the Fuji I had a set of 4 close-up lenses, 55mm diameter. These I also used on my 350D with a converter ring. Then I had a set of extension rings given me but they had no electrical lens to body connections and were difficult to use as the aperture was fully open all the time. I did a few stacked focus shots but not much good for moving objects. For my 450D I now have a set of "best quality" bought from Hong Kong extension rings with the through connections, a 13mm, 21mm and 31mm, for about a third the price of Canon's. I would have liked Canon's but it was these or nothing. (Available cash, low pension, other conflicting needs etc.). During my last holiday in Sussex (UK) I was trying them out with both the kit 18-55mm lens and the 50mm f1.8 lens.
Here are a few for your comments:

Seems like you have done a fantastic job. Do you still have the link for Hong Kong extension rings? I would like to try some of these. Very nice pics...Jan
