Wonderful job of capturing the monarchs this year Thane.....and documenting in video as well and documenting the flowers that they were congregating on....of all the flowers in Botanica gardens these were the preferred. Thanks TR!

I just “slid” thru your Monarch collection. Outstanding work, Butterfly Whisperer!! Ha. I seriously enjoyed them all.

I’m amazed at how the caterpillars turn to organic soup in the coccoon then reorganize to emerge a butterfly! Even carrying caterpillar memories forward , remembered by the butterfly. Incredible.

You did a wonderful job capturing these beautiful creatures.

thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures!!

Thane - As always, beautiful photos! You images make me want to visit the area.

Thane, wish I could spend some time at Bernardo Waterfowl Management Area with you, although not sure I coiuld spend the entire day as you did. It has been many years since I have experienced these wonderful birds and you have stirred me to find a way for a trip to one of their gathering places again. Thanks for being so disciplined to capture these amazing shots of the beauty. So very special that you were able to have the entire day in solitude. Plan another trip and bring on more amazing photos!

Thane, each time I get to view the photos, captions and read the description of one of your trips, then I want to make plans to go to this location. That is what I want to do after looking at the entry of Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. Great photos and appreciate all the other wildlife, besides the snow geese and sandhill cranes, you captured and shared. Thank you for the time, energy and dedication you invest in your craft.....so very enjoyable!

Thank you so much for bringing some Spring beauty into my life. It was awesome to watch the pictures.

Florida III - Great job Thane.......some remarkable photos...... and thanks for the photo captions and linked videos, really enriches the experience for me. Great variety of birds and lots of questions for you when we next get together. Keep exploring, keep shooting and keep sharing......earger to see and read about your next adventure!

I just finished viewing the photos and reading about your recent trip to South Florida - Sarasota, just amazing beauty you so skillfully capture....love all of them but especially the trees , the roots of the Ficus macrophylla - I need to see these and hope to get back to Kauai to check them out....and the Spanish moss on the live oak trees. Amazing creatures that you encounter and spend so many hours of waiting to get just the right shot.....thank you! I really enjoy sharing these adventures with you vicariously....and hope someday to visit a few of these special places that you have experienced.
