It has been some time since I posted a photo. I just got a new DSLR camera, the Nikon D5000, and have been playing with it.
This photo is from a trail in the north end of Oshawa, right behind the airport (also known as “Airport Trail”). I was walking along and seen this monarch just sitting there.
I love this camera so much. On the original photo I can zoom in to 100% and see every little detail.

This photo was taken by accident. I was placing the camera down when I pressed the shutter release button. I decided to keep it because it looks cool. This is a garden bed at Canada's Wonderland in Maple, ON. Just north of Toronto.
