I promise that the flowers are frozen and dead by now, although there's still a lot more green in the grass than I would expect for this time of year.
The last of September's butterfly pictures. While it's still quite a bit warmer than "normal" for this time of year, the flowers and butterflies are all gone, replaced by flocks of honking geese.

:-) So nice to see September again. Lovely
composition.
Yeah - a lotta geese around here too. I
think flickr needs to pipe in sound for us.

Thanks. It was very kind of this butterfly
to pose so nicely for me :-). Hmmm - sound
effects with our photos...could be dangerous!

We have only our usual flocks of geese, and
the occasional one or two swimming in the
Hudson.
It seems that butterflies are quite willing
to pose...now, if the people would only go
away.

Our house is 5 or 6 blocks from a small lake
that the geese like, and we're frequently in
the flight path of big groups (often seeking
refuge from hunters - you can hear the
gunshots in the distance).
I wouldn't mind if the butterflies would
stay still a little longer and do what I tell
them. Maybe I just need to move around less
:-).

Wow, the sharpness of the butterfly's wings
is really spectacular, and the vibrancy of
the colors really brings this image to life.
I'm particularly drawn to that stark green
background and how, instead of distracting,
it places even more emphasis on the monarch
and the flower. Nicely captured!

SSBS: Thanks! I liked the way the green
background worked here as well, and the color
shift near the top.
kool: Thanks as always! I definitely
appreciate your consistent support.

This photograph is beautiful! I am so
impressed! It's great that you set it for
creative commons.
Would a creative commons license mean that
I could I use this image in a grant proposal?
We(at the Pine Mountain Settlement School, www.pinemountainsettlementschool.com , an environmental education non-profit in
the mountains of Eastern Kentucky) are making
a video proposal for a Community Gardens
project, seeking funding from Fiskars. They
want a creative proposal, but it's February
here and we have no vegetables or colorful
garden objects to photograph...
I hope to hear back from you soon so I'll
know it's okay. The deadline for the grant
proposal is in 9 days...
Sincerely,
Cassie Robinson

I'm thrilled that you think the photo would
be useful in your proposal. You are more
than welcome to use it, as long as there is
attribution ("Photo by Nic McPhee"
or some similar). For electronic uses I
prefer that people also include a link to my
Flickr account, but in a printed document
that may not make a great deal of sense.
