Monarchs Plus

ABOUT

This is a closeup of Bell. I kept the 3 monarchs that emerged in my greenhouse overnight because the weather was very damp and cold.

I have never seen a bee like this. It had huge yellow eyes and a fuzzy pale yellow body. I was so happy to finally track down the type of bee. Amazing creature that help feed us.

I found this pair on my grape leaves. I loved the light and how metallic they look.

I love fall and frost. It was wonderful to wake up to the artistry of nature this morning.

Frost painted leaves

The grace of the old petals now coated with ice created a peaceful beauty. From yellow to tans, golds, and browns, the ability to age in grace and beauty.

Every year I wander around looking for pretty leaves. I bring them inside and watch them dry and crumble or iron them with wax paper and allow them to stay flexible for a longer amount of time.

This year I decided to take leaf portraits. This way, I was able to photograph the rich colors and the shadows and keep them exactly how I captured them.

Leaves Hit the Asphalt

I was working in my yard and found thins crocus. I loved the way the sun made it glow and dreated shadows.

This was my Mom's cat that I inherited. He was the sweetest boy and I got to love him for 2 years.
