I did NOT plan on taking any photos today. I had some photos I wanted to put into a digi layout but while I was outside watering the chickens I saw a Monarch Butterfly and I had to get a photo...So I ran into the house and grabbed the camera, ran back outside, and guess what NO Monarch, ugh!! It had fluttered away...But it didn't take me long to find other photo subjects and wait for another Monarch butterfly...
Isn't he cool...you can see the pollen stuck on his legs!
I wanted to show y'all the wild mums that are in full bloom...The picture did not come out but I added a texture and thought cool!
A Queen Butterfly with a texture added to the photo.
Then I spotted this one, isn't it gorgeous...It is a Painted Grasshopper and one I've never seen before. If you click on the photo and bring it up larger you can see it's tiny little wings.
And of course another beautiful Peacock Butterfly with a bit of texture added to the photo.
Guess what? The Monarch came back, Yea!! It wasn't doing a good job of posing for me but I did manage a few photos of it!
Isn't it beautiful! Migrating to Mexico!
A different view of the Monarch just before I scared it off, Oops!
Two queens...one eating and the other in flight...I also added a texture to this photo.
A pipe-vine swallowtail. With the cooler temps. and the rain the day before most of the butterflies were eating with their wings fully open to catch the suns rays...I was having fun as they were gorgeous!! Texture was added to this photo also.
This is a Buckeye and isn't it Beautiful. Sheesh the colors are awesome. I saw one the other day but didn't have the camera! I think this is my favorite from the day! And yes I added a texture to the photo...lol.
Another Skipper!
I had to show you what my yard fence looks like...Wild Mums all the way around...Most people down here call them weeds and knock them down but I couldn't do it...The butterflies, caterpillars and bugs love them!! I also added a texture to this photo and I love it!! I think the textures give the photo character!
Another unidentified Caterpillar with dew on it.
And sweet Julie! I whistled and got her to look up! She's a good Ol' girl, 22 yrs old this year. She came up to me and once she figured out I didn't have a treat she gave me the cold shoulder, lol...Can you see all the Green!! It sure is amazing what a little water will do! I'm fix'in to shred all those weeds down soon, just waiting on my back to stop spasming. My back and the tractor don't like each other :o)
I took this photo of the deer out in the pasture on my way to pick Michael up from school. The sun was harsh and pretty much blew the photo out. But I added a texture to it and at least now you can see the deer. They thought they were hiding but little did they know I captured them with the camera!~
Even though I did NOT plan on taking photos today I had fun when I did, lol...I didn't get much else done but I think it was worth it!
Hope y'all have a good rest of your week :o)

It is funny to see all the green. We are in the middle of a snowstorm! ;D
Hi Wendy,
Beautiful post. Did you do the butterfly with the 100mm lens??
These are gorgeous shots, but I thought, where are the birds? ;-)
I love the deer shot too, the composition is beautiful!
Yes Chris I used the 100mm lens. It's my favorite :o) The birds are here but not cooperating. I took a few the other day but they did not turn out, you know how that goes, lol. I need two cameras, one for the Macro lens and one for the telephoto lens...Thanks for stopping by!
Gorgeous shots!
