Superb photos Donna!
Thanks so much, Nim! Glad you enjoyed them. We're looking at our first freezing temps of the season, so the butters are probably all gone.

We too had freezing temps and snow! Only a dusting but it was snow. These shots are phenomenally beautiful..The different effects make them so I believe. The color in number one is so saturated it Wowed me from first sight!!!

Gorgeous! Are those flying insects in #4? I thought at first maybe was bits of the plant from over-enthusiastic "lunching" by the butterfly

Just a month ago we were in the 90s, Corolyn, and now we sit at 42deg with a freeze expected tonight! What happened to fall?! I'm so glad you enjoyed these, my dear friend. Thank you so much!

Believe it or not, Linda, those are gnats, and I would have ordinarily zapped them in processing, but they reminded me of fairy dust, so they got to stay. lol Thanks so much, Linda. Your comments are always a huge encouragement to me!
