Butterfly Weed is a native NJ wildflower, that is food for Monarch Butterflies and host to the eggs they lay. I think they are one of the most beautiful wildflowers around. i have had them in my gardens before, and have hatched butterflies because of them. I found seeds last year at Leu Gardens in Orlando Florida and planted them again this year. they are easy to grow, but you must make sure where you plant them is where you want them to stay, as they have a tap root which if disturbed will kill the plant. i am hoping to attract some more butterflies, between this and the Butterfly Bushes i have....much to my daughter Kaileigh's dismay. She is scared to death of butterflies and moths, but will gladly handle a snake...strange child!!

I got back to my first love: macro shots.

A little bit of home studies...

Enjoy your week!

I woke up this morning with the uncomfortable feeling of a congested nasal passage and I had a feeling it was raining and I knew it was agreat opportunity to test the 100mm f/2.8L IS macro lens for what it was made and bought for. So Out came the camera and the tripod. Thank you Lord for the showers of Your blessing. Thank you Lord for Your unfailing kindness and faithfulness. Great indeed is the Lord!

A sunny spring day in April was a great opportunity to play with a macro lens, so I did just that - took my little 50mm macro for a spin. Not bad for a first try! Early April 2018.
