Taken at the prairie site I visit each year. I've seen only a few monarchs this year. This one landed on some Milfoil(wild yarrow)for a drink.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Glad to see you found a monarch butterfly Kathy - very nice capture - I have only seen one so far - becoming somewhat concerned that their numbers may be down - in the interim, I'm enjoying your beautiful post - Great Capture!!!:-):-):-)!!!

This is very nice, I have seen more this year, than I did last year. Their crucial food source when they are in early stages is milkweed.

Gorgeous shot of the butterfly on the foofies, Kathy. Excellent clarity in all the right places, and I love the bokeh.

The last time I saw the Monarch was when she gave her annual Christmas day speech on the TV. It might have been New Year's, its been a while. We here in the Empire are required to watch it or she gets very cross and we have to go with no pudding that day. :-D

A lovely capture of the butterfly, Kathy. A nice DoF in the photo.
