30 Words: Orange





A Monarch's wings beat near silent,
only displaced air giving warning.
 
Turning oh so slowly,
I focus my camera...
 
And off he goes, to another fine flower.
 
Beauty and elegance.
 
 
This week's 30 Word Thursday was taken last week on a little expedition I took to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.  I took my camera along, and practiced using my brand new Macro lens for flowers and insect portraits.  Looking at these finished photos I am struck by how outrageous and wonderful these tiny denizens of our world become when we can see all their detail.  I took a ton of pics there and will likely be posting more in the future!  Check out the other 30 Word Thursday folks at Erin's Treasures Found Blog!
