The butterfly is cool. I'm not in that big a hurry for winter to end. For me, it just means I got to cut the "grass" again (over & over again).
We got some "snow" around here this week. Monday we got about an inch before it turned into a mixture of sleet & freezing rain. Woke up Tuesday morning to ICE; big pain in the patootie because I HAVE TO shovel it off so the mail person won't slip on it and sue me. Lowes was all out of road salt. Just about the time I got it finished we started getting flurries again. I expect that's winter's last gasp around here. The only reason I mention it is the next street over from mine is a main thoroughfare & they've got it closed to replace sewer lines. The detour runs down my block. For the first time since I moved here 40 years ago the city sent out the scraper truck to remove the snow from my street. Note: "grass" in quotes because it's not grass. It's some kind of green weeds. But as long as it keeps the dirt covered I don't have to deal with the neighborhood infestation of yuppie scum house flippers complaining to the city about it & causing me grief.

Another inch of snow last night, I'm officially tired of winter. So here's a shot from last Fall's Monarch migration. I missed focus by a bit, not that big a bit but. There was one in this sequence with the butterfly in perfect focus, and in a slightly better pose, but also partially hidden by the plant, there was a bit of wind blowing the subject around that day IIRC. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1604247/PESO/PESO%20---%20%20letsdolunch.html Equipment: Pentax K-5II w/vmc Vivitar Series 1 70-210mm f2.8~4.0 (Komine).
