Sharon This is the first time I have logged on to webshots in about two months and I was so excited to see you had a POTD and a beautiful shot as always. Hope you and Bob are both happy and well I miss the 3 but have had lots of work and just don't have the time to post or comment at the moment. Have a wonderful week....Sandra

Hi Sharon! I'm so sorry I missed your POYTD, but finally found it. It really is a beauty, and a well deserved honor. The Monarchs from Minnesota migrate to Mexico! What a difference!We had a lot more of them this year, and even one I had never seen before. I think it was just passing through. This is such a pretty photo and a great shot. Big hugs, the other Sharon!

This photo is very beautiful - It is so clear and precise that I wish I had it in my reference folder when I drew my "unfinished monarch study" also shown in my WEBSHOTS albums. They are so dizzyingly complex that it has taken me almost three years to come close to finishing the stipple rendering and I am still not happy with it. Your bio is also beautiful. I hope you are enjoying health, happiness and prosperity. Thanks for sharing your lovely photos.

You are a master photographer in my book. Your composition, sharpness, brightness & subject matter is so what I like! I had to download all but a handfull to add to my collections. I only wish you would have put them in 1 album as they all came in untitled & I had to move each one seperately to my albums...most time consuming. I have seperate albums like butterflies, Flosers, Gardens, etc. Thank you for your stories on the pictures...it made it very enjoyable to know where you were! XXXOOOXXXOOO
