We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
It's getting to be very slim pickings for the remaining Monarchs. Frost, freezing temperatures, rain, gusty wind, lack of sunlight...and almost no flowers remaining to enjoy.
And yet they still manage to thrive. I presume that soon the last of these butterflies will head South.

Taken along a fringe area of Valley Forge Park. I was walking along the path traveling in the same direction as the riders. I wanted to get beyond the clearing in the trees so I could get them as they entered the light. When I turned to see where they were I found them almost on my back. I quickly shot and captured them just at the edge of the light. Phew!
Just cast an eye
In her direction.
Oh me oh my,
Ain't that perfection?
Oh I repeat
Well don't you think that's kind of neat?
Yes I ask you very confidentially:
Ain't she sweet?

Plum Island, MA. After heavy crop.
Okay, here's story. The snowy owl was standing in the marsh about 150 feet away from me. It was so far that my 400mm f5.6 lens was way too short. Then I had to attach on 1.4x converter for reach but lost autofocus as the result. While I was shooting using live view and manual focus, the snowy took off and flew towards me!! Without auto focus, I could only take several shots (including this one) and watching. The snowy came to only 10 feet away from me, picked up something on the ground and flew away.
That was the point when I made up my mind to buy a 500mm f4 lens. :)
Simplicity is making the journey of this life with just baggage enough.

The quaint little town of Marine on St. Croix is only a few miles north of Stillwater. Honestly, it's like taking a step back in time.
