This guy was hungry after his trip from Florida and zeroed in for lunch. Another from the butterfly exhibit I attended last weekend. I was happy to get a full wingspread as it's hard as some of you know to catch these guys fairly still.

Beautiful macro! Love his background and his angle as well as his contrast with those pretty white flowers.

The butterfly chose a perfect background to accentuate its beautiful colours and along came Kathy and saved it for ever. A beautiful image Kathy :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Excellent close-up of the Monarch. I agree the background sets it off nicely. Wonderful capture, Kathy.
