Default A beautiful day in Tennessee

Fall is in the air, so their time is limited. Figured I'd better get out and enjoy the day before they head south for the winter.

Looks like a Beautiful Clear Day in Tenn. Lovely contrast of colors, white flowers against the blue sky and the magnificent Monark showing of his fall colors.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Thank you. After 2 weeks of rain, it was so nice to see the bright blue (humidity free) sky! I was fighting the sun on one side, so I had to keep moving to find the right angle...and only 1 monarch, so I'm sure it was tired of me "chasing" it for the "right" shot!

These are beautiful shots...I really like the second one for some reason, but the coloring on all of them is wonderful.

Great shots of a moving target, esp. if only one butterfly! Beautiful day and pictures. Thanks for them.
