Description
The pale yellow tail monarch is the first butterfly I have seen this summer.
I spotted it last week and since then I have captured 3 or 4 other species and will post them later.
I was going to do a bug but the butterfly excited me so much, I had to post it.
I am doing so, so.
I can't tolerate this heat and humidity I get so sick when I go outside and literally get nauseated and have to go to the bathroom to visit the porcelian throne.
The heat is no fun and those little flash thunderstorms just bring on the humidity that much more.
Was supposed to have chemo last Friday, but hubby's brother had surgery and was not doing well at all so he drove to see him
Have just not been feeling well at all the past week or so and I know it's the heat, so If I fail to leave a comment every now and then, please forgive me and I will catch up as best as I can.
I hope this finds everyone doing okay and I hope all of you have a safe, healthy and happy 4th of July.
All post work done in PSP9
I added frame and border. Tried one step touch up.
Color and brightness adjusted along with hue and saturation.
Thank you all for all of your IMs and asking about me.
I am okay other than the heat and the humidity.
I love all of you all.
Any and all comments most appreciated.
Hugs
Susan~

I'm really glad you're doing ok! But I do hope it cools down for you! This is beautiful!
Excellent photo here Susan. Sorry to hear about your heat problems.. I'm just back from NYC where it was Hot and Muggy 24/7. Glad to be home.. It's hot but dry.. much better. Hugs from Dave :^)
Lovely image dear if a tad on the small side.. Glad to hear you are bearing up well even if I understand the heat problems
Beautiful butterfly Susan :) My favorite!!! So sorry you aren't feeling well again (or still); i hope things cool down for you ... hang in there. You are in a lot of prayers around the world. HUGS!
Beautiful butterfly wonderfully captured. I love the surrounding colors too. The weather here in the Poconos (Pennsylvania) has been unseasonably cool the past few days - I guess I should be greatful for that!
So colorful and beautiful Susan!! Hope the heat and humidity let up for you soon. Gorgeous shot!
Wishing you well and as carefree as this beautiful butterfly!!
fabulous shot!
Beautiful picture! Happy and safe 4th to you!!!

i can relate on the heat issue ,,, great work !
Beautiful, Susan! I know what you mean about this heat! I hate July and August in the South. It's bad enough for someone without any other problems! I haven't seen any of these around this year. Thanks for sharing. Love you!
Fine capture, Susan. The colors on this butterfly are beautiful -- as is your presentation. 5*
Such a lovely butterfly. You captured it so well and I like the postwork. :)
That is a terrific shot. You have really brought out the super colours. They usually fly away as soon as they hear me coming.
What a fabulous job!!! I can't take a photo to save my life especial something like this!
So beautiful! Butterflies always have been one my favorite objects - a symbol of our presence in earth - always too short - I am afraid - Hope you feel better, please take care. Hugs Hanna
