Decisions, decisions...

I can't decide what to do for my final project and am down to 3 choices: parts and pieces, monochromatic, or winter cold.  I love the blues of the winter photos but I am getting very sick of winter and we still have over 2 feet of snow on the ground.  If I do parts and pieces I may run out of color and then what?  As to monochromatic, same as winter-- in need of color--but intriguing. 
How about voting on your choice for my project.  Here are two images of each possibility.

A Visit to "Butterflies Are Free"

To celebrate my retirement from Bear Pond Books and my new emphasis on my photography work we visited the Montreal Botanical Gardens to see the "Butterflies are Free" exhibit.  There are two large floors of plants with butterflies and moths that have just hatched flying free. Magical to be surrounded by butterflies and to have them fly as close to your face as two inches!  Here are a few to brighten the black and white that still exists in Vermont.
