Stunning! aren't they the most perfect creation?! I feel calm just gazing at your photo . . .today's word verification: blies Could that possibly be 'bliss' mis-spelled? :O)
Oh the lovely monarch. Aren't they special, though? I often wonder what goes on in their heads. I have to admit I find it hard to believe they metamorph as they do.
Such a beautiful photograph...full of tranquility. Thanks for the kind comments BTW, I've enjoyed looking through your blog and have copied out the soup recipe.....thanks!!
A couple years ago, my husband and I traveled to one of the overwintering sites for Monarchs in Pacific Grove, CA. There were over 35,000 Monarchs fluttering about in a tiny plot of land protected by a Eucalyptus grove from the winds off the Pacific. With all those butterflies at my disposal - I couldn't get as great a photo as the one you posted here. I ended up buying a poster at the museum in town. I do love Monarchs.
A beautiful capture - gorgeous vivid green against the intricately patterned Monarch butterfly. Thanks for sharing your talents and for visiting my blog. Happy snapping!

Beautiful shot of the butterfly. The bright green of the leaves sure sets it apart and showcases the golden color.
