Things I won't be able to see in 10 days

Things change quickly here in Minnesota. These will be gone in a matter of days.

Beautiful! What gear/setup are you using for these if I may ask?

Fall is coming quick now! Already getting pretty chilly in the mornings.

these pics look very beautiful, especially the butterfly with green background, i think, this pic looks like a painting, amazingly beautiful

Thanks to the both of you for your comments!

Yes,this morning definitely has that fall chill in the air.

#1 and #3 were shot with my old 28-105, #2 with the 24-105L f/4. Camera was my 30D

Nice shots!
Enjoy them for the monarchs have left here already.

wonderful shots. i find it hard to believe the monarchs are still up there. they have been migrating through here for a couple weeks now.

Thanks chopper!I was really surprised to see a couple yesterday morning. They might have been fooled by our unseasonably warm last 2 weeks. Things changed this morning so they're probably hightailing it out of here now.

Thank you!

Superb photos!

Pretty shots.

Great work, number 2 should be a postcard.

Number 2 is really special! And the plant that monarch is on is a hybridized version of the famous Milkweed plant that Monarchs are so attracted to. I've planted lots of that in my backyard in hopes of seeing a few land on them. You're lucky to be along the Monarch Milkweed Highway! Good shooting.

Thanks to all for the comments! They are appreciated.
