This is an image from late Summer 2023. ( I normally use manual mode for wildlife photography, but tried Aperture Priority mode, which resulted in the fast shutter speed). I'm not sure what species of flower this was- a Zinnia, perhaps?  All the best to everyone for 2024.

Beautiful colours Paul. Beautifully done. (I do use manual mode but also swap around with AV also).

Such a welcome sight on a dreary, dark winter day, Paul! Beautiful image.

A lovely shot of a monarch-so nice to see. Looks like a zinnia to me. A pretty sight to begin the new year-let's hope the Monarchs (and you) have a good year.

This Image is such a pleasant breath that it smells of spring in these gray days.
Wonderful butterfly and wonderful flower, yes, maybe a Zinnia.
