I WAS ON A TRIP
in Montreal, Quebec, with
my mom when I took this
photo of a painted lady in
a gorgeous garden. I love
taking pictures of nature.
Anytime I can capture
this type of beauty, it’s a
special moment for me.

MY BROTHER KNEW
I was going to visit him
in North Carolina in
October, and he planted
zinnias to surround his
porch so I could see all
the birds and butterflies
while I was there. I spotted
many types of butterflies
around his house, but it
was a treat to see a fiery
skipper. My brother always
treats me like a queen,
and looking at the photos
I took at his home brings
back memories of all the
good times we had.
