    Your butterflies are still about. Wonder when they start to migrate.....

      So far as I know they do not migrate, they spend winter as caterpillars or pupas. I have photographed butterflies here in November before.
      Take care Diane

    I could pass quite some time watching the clouds go by. Sometimes the formations are just magnificent. I've seen some great images from airplane windows. Admiring your first shot and thinking about this.

    It is a pretty impressive cloud formation Diane! Marvelous macros, you always impress me the way you recognise your subjects, both insects and plants!

    Once again, superb captures of the tiny life in your gardens. Squash is looking good too. Love the bee covered with pollen.

    I am way behind and trying to catch up.
