I've discovered that butterflies are one subject that I can photograph well with using the macro setting and zooming in to soften the background. I think you take fantastic photos!

It's so true, though--when I was raising my children and working full time, stopping to enjoy nature was a luxury that I didn't have time for, it seemed.

There were several I liked, but I can see why you favour 'Mistress Prynne' and 'Tennyson'. This year I added a bunch of coneflowers. Your display makes me glad I did.
