My garden has been filled with life this summer... and it's a wonder to see!!

To date I have released 16 Monarchs.... 3 emerged this morning, 7 chrysalis to go... and I did release the many cats onto the milkweed with the exception of 2 which should J-Hook soon!!

Nice set Angela, wish we had some of your Long Island weather here in Texas. It has been a dry hot, hot summer, many days over 100.
Would like to see a full picture of your back yard some time.

Photos again with that bent baby thing? I admire your Lensbaby work with flowers. I have looked at landscapes and buildings photographed with Lensbaby and not impressed, however, your work has made me reconsider, with a positive view, its usefulness for flowers.

Thanks Jim, glad you liked... we certainly can't complain about the weather on LI, still hazy, hot and humid and a very severe T-storm last night and they're are saying tonight as well, but by no means like the other parts of the country.... and my flowers and monarchs are all thriving!!
Maybe I'll put on the wide angle or fisheye and take a picture to share....

Thank you kindly, Don... but to be honest, no Lensbaby used in any of these images.... the monarch was taken with my CarlZeiss lens and the rest were taken with my cheap 50mm and extension tube added!! But glad you liked!

What beautiful life in your colorful garden. In my other life I will return as one of your Monarchs.Thanks for sharing.
