Monarch Butterfly

Thank you Karin!

Thank you Tim!

Thank you Beverly!

here , graphism makes it all

Thank you Christel!

o0o they are beautiful creatures but sadly I
am frightened of them, they are probably more
frightened of me ! but its a fear I cannot overcome.
It looks so lovely in black and white, and I know
the colours are eye catching too, as I run away :) oOo

LOL! They are the gentlest creature and have no capability of biting. Butterflies can only stick out their sticky tongues to gather pollen! Hope this gives you more courage!

o0o have visited a Butterfly Farm ... my goodness can you imagine walking into
an enclosed area with them all flying around ...!!!!!!!!!!!! but I did it ... with a Fl'ckr
friend ... I even took photos ~ macro ~ but these were sleepy ones ;-)))) ha sort
of ... but I did it ... but the fear just will not go away ... it won't ;-) I am sure they
are more frightened of me ...;-) oOo

In B&W, all the quality is so present!***************************

Thank you Helena!

nice b&w

In black and white, I find myself focusing on the pattern. Thanks for providing a different way of looking at this butterfly.

Magnifique monarque ! Très beau cadrage !

Great capture in black and white , William !

o0o somehow in black and white .. seems not quite so
difficult for me ~ how strange, when I love colours ...
perhaps its because she has not moved ;-) since I
looked last ;-) oOo

The butterfly lost the color but not lost the beauty!

Stunning capture. Amazing details . Brilliant composition of the shot. Works so well in BW Well done William Hugs Tess

Great shot, works very well in B&W.

A feast of stripes and dots..
