Description

Beautiful Summer Coneflowers and the butterflies just love them. I am trying to brighten up a rainy summer day so I took 2 backgrounds of coneflowers each had a Monarch Butterfly on them. I had multiple butterflies on these flowers all summer but not when I went out to take photos, naturally. So I combined two of these images in photoshop and blended them together. I also processed the combined image in Nik Color Efex Pro and Topaz Texture Effects and Impression. I hope that my efforts brighten up your day, also.
Both images of coneflowers and butterflies were taken in my back yard in Southern Oregon.
