Beautiful. I would love to have a Coffee table book of all the different pictures you post. A lot of things I have never seen or heard of until you post a picture and give detailed information about it.

So Beautiful! A Spectacular butterfly captured in a lasting photo!

@cheriere I don't think you realize how good you are! Your photos and such interesting background and info on your pictures are really National Geographic quality.

And ahem, no pressure

but I know I will be one of the many firsts, like @JYWilliams said, who would buy your book when you have the time

Beautiful!!!! We surely had a beautiful group of 'flutter-byes' this year! (as my 6-year old neighbor gal says!) Our milkweed is in full 'bloom' and my teacher friend was here a couple of weeks ago to pick stalks of milkweed and Queen Annes Lace for the caterpillars that they have in classrooms.
