Welcome

I apologize for not posting in some time.  I have some medical issues that do not allow me to walk and that makes it hard to get quality shots when you have very limited mobility.  Hopefully that will be corrected in the near future.

Funny thing about the images I have for you today.  They are similar to what I might take in with a micro lens but in fact they were taken with my long lens / convertor at 1200 focal length.

I was looking for some birds that I could photograph from my car but they were not to be found.  When one door closes another will open and I noticed a lot of activity in the flowers close by the car.

I spotted this wonderful monarch butterfly and even though I had some problems keeping him in focus I was basically happy with the results.

There was also quite a bit of activity from bees and other insects.  As can be imagined they were much harder to keep in focus with the large lens.

Enjoy your Labor Day weekend and be careful.
