Two Monarchs Sharing 2011

Description
Two Monarchs could have been playing See-Saw here on a tall purple verbena plant. This scene was taken back in 2011 in my Ohio garden. I could stand out there many mornings or afternoons and have a dozen or more butterflies fluttering around. These were my early days of paying attention to butterflies and trying to take pictures of them. I did not realize at the time, just how lucky I was to have several subjects to capture at any given moment. There were Swallowtails, Buckeyes, Monarchs, Viceroys, Skippers, Painted Ladies, Cabbage Whites, Sulphurs and Frittilaries . . . and I am leaving some out!
I am not really sure what has changed . . . . more houses . . . the climate . . . . but there are definitely not as many butterflies in my garden anymore even though I continue planting butterfly hosts and attracters! I love to look at these early photos that I took (with my old camera) . . . I had kind of forgotten I had these in my files . . . . but I am bringing them out of retirement and showing them off . . . for the beauty that I so loved not so long ago!!!
I hope you enjoy my early work here and do whatever you can in your yard or garden to help out our beautiful friends!

Thank you so much for looking at my images. I appreciate your time and interest so much.
I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!
