I have been cleaning out some photos and found the very first shots I took with my new Canon 5D Mark III in the summer. The coneflowers (Echinacea) were out, and so were the butterflies and bees.

New toys are always fun. My fav is the last picture shown. Do you know what flower that is?
Thanks. I have updated the post .. Echinacea or coneflowers. One of my favorites.
Great photographs!
Thanks. The butterfly and bee were cooperating that day .. sunny and no wind.
1 word to say : gorgeous !
Thank you.
Hi, Michael — This is a photography-related question. Are you the same Michael Weening who took some photos in the El Rosario Butterfly Preserve in January 2020? I saw them on TripAdvisor. ‘m a writer, and my next book is about a Monarch butterfly and her migration from Canada to Mexico. I wanted to send my readers a pdf showing some of the places mentioned in the book (and El Rosario is one of them). The picture “look-closely-every-tree.jpg” would be a perfect example to show them how the Monarchs cluster on the oyamel branches. Would you mind it I used it? I will, of course, give you full credit.
I am so sorry Michael – I totally missed your comment. Yes I am the one. And yes, if your book is not published yet, you can use the photo with credit. If not too late. Apologies.
