    1. We live on the butterfly migration route which makes it a lot easier to attract them.

  10. Thank you all for your kind comments. The program used here is "Awesome Motion" and is part of the Google+/Picasaweb photo editor.

    I wrote about the technique in August.

    This time I used a tripod and set the camera for multiple exposures. There are more than thirty frames in this one--about three times the number I usually do.

  11. Oh, wow. You had a nice showing of butterflies this year. It looks like mostly queens. I had quite a few monarchs and queens when the Liatris was in bloom. They did not linger on the Gregg's mistflower as late as they usually do. I wonder if they know something we don't?

    1. There was one Monarch in the mix that day but I don't think it made the photos. The most at any one time so far is five and I did notice Monarchs are not as attracted to the Gregg's mistflower as the Queens are. The Queens would also chase them away.

  12. Wonderful, I always enjoy seeing the Monach butterflies. We had them pass thru our area here inthe SC mountains about a month ago. We have the ladybugs by the thousands now!

    I love your gardens, great pictures. check out my blog sometime,
