Got lucky this morning while out shooting. This beautiful deep purple butterfly bush is called Black Knight and as I was about to shoot a monarch showed up. So I followed it for a while hoping it would land on the bush and give me a good shot. Finally after several tries I got this.

Think this Monarch too can't resist the smell of honey caused by this Buddleja davidii, Kathy, ☺ .
Two for the price of one. Splendid image!

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?
