all creatures great and small - K-man

all creatures great and small

birds and bees,flowers and trees, dogs and cats and things like that...

In all my years of photographing with slide and print film back in the day, I never managed to capture a butterfly. My luck would turn this day as I decided to stick one of my close-up lenses in my bag on my trip to the Staten Island zoo in case I spotted some nice flowers. Lucky me as I started to take pictures of the flowers this monarch happened to flutter by.
