Wow, that's a very strong and passionate story. I love all of the butterfly picks as well. On a side note in the butterfly pic on your profile header do you happen to know the name of the plant the butterflies are on. I'm just curious I recently captured a similar scene.
Thank you @coinsandchains. I'm honored to tell it to such a receptive and kind audience. That is a Common Milkweed plant that those Great Spangled Fritillaries are on! Where are you located? We are in Missouri, although I'm guessing they're common around the US!
Thank you, I'm in Northeast Georgia, about 5 miles from the NC line. I actually posted a pic of it here. I'm working on a post with several butterfly/flower pics. Trying to learn a little photography, I'm not real good at it, there just never seems to be enough time to get everything I want to done.
