Good use of “monarch” David. This one was flower hopping and kind of hard to get. Well worth it though. The wildflowers were so thick it was kind of candy-land for bees and butterflies. This patch of flowers must have been really good as it stayed long enough to move the tripod and focus several shots. Yep, this monarch was indeed god of the wildflower patch.
Thanks, Gary. The orange on orange (butterfly & flower) caught my eye right away. Monarchs are so beautiful! We don’t see many around these parts, so it’s nice to use your own excellent photo.
Monarch Butterfly royalty…has a catch to it. We see a fair amount of them here on the low end of common sightings. That being said, if a person spends time among the wild flowers, they seem to prefer the wild side vs the gardens.
