Great picture and It’s the sharing of the photos that makes a difference.

Gorgeous and they love phlox. Indeed we put as much around our garden as well in order to ensure that the monarchs come to visit Thank you for sharing

Love that you take so many pics, I do the same.
If you click on the picture you can see it in a it’s beautiful glory.

I have not been in a committed photographer since College days. It is luscious to see someone so committed to the visual image, especially if he happens to be one of New York's best attorneys.

This is a beautiful picture. Thank you for sharing it.

I never heard of phlox before, but Joanne says they’re outside your house.

Have you tried any of the light or color enhancements?

gorgeous image - always love to see what you see :)

A beautifully composed photograph!

Love taking pictures and now so easy with today's great phones. My Samsung talks amazing pictures too. Just remember to hold the phone landscape vs. portrait and it will fill better when posting on line.

As the crow flies we are 7 miles from Natural Bridges State Beach in Santa Cruz . The autumn home of the Monarch migration . They feed and congregate in a eucalyptus grove that provides shelter and warmth . It is a sight to behold . Many of them take the short flight up the hill to play in the redwood forest that I call home . Nature provides us with the quintessential beauty and reveals how fragile it is . They breed and then live only 2-6 weeks. They contrast the bright blue sky and the deep green trees with a montage of grace , vulnerability and beauty . Nature's palette at its finest . Never taken for granted . The Papillon . Thanks Fred . Who knew ? Right ?

Did you always like taking pictures? Or was your interest developed after cameras were put into cell phones? I love how cameras in cell phones have spurred budding photographers.
