Gorgeous!
I remember once when I was little, in the fall. We had a huge oak tree in the yard. I noticed that it was...wiggling. On closer inspection, the entire canopy was covered with Monarchs. They were on their way to Mexico. They stayed for a day or two and then they were gone. It was the coolest thing. There must have been thousands, and it opened up a whole new world to a curious little girl!
We have a huge Oak on our front lawn. I will have to find a photo of the leaves that fall every year.
This year the branches got so heavy they started to fall.....I mean large branches! We had to have "her" trimmed! The " falling" won't be near as colorful this year.
Our daughter loves to come home from school and roll in those leaves!

Just wanted to say thank you and to mention that I did almost NOTHING to that gorgeous butterfly graphic! Amy sent that photograph along with a few others for me to use for Opening Graphics, but there was NOTHING that actually needed to be done to it except add the text, and reduce the size a bit. All I did was add the narrow black border with the drop shadow, the text and the 2 little animated Monarch butterfles, so I don't feel I can take much credit for that graphic! :) I usually crop, cut, paste, subract, add to, vignette, make transparent, recolor or DEcolor all or part of a graphic - or anything else I can dream up. :)
