Monarch by danette

Monarch

The thunder brought me outside to investigate. Seemed like such a small patch of clouds making such loud noises. Saw this butterfly and followed him a bit. I liked how he was holding onto the leaf. The storm was coming and gusts were brewing. I was actually able to capture a few lightning strikes but they were not up to snuff and I wasn't going to sit out there and get struck!
Looks like she is well braced for the coming storm! Lovely lighting and colours. Nice contrast in the plant and the butterfly.

@pjonas He sure is. Had never noticed butterflies do this.

@travelingcamper Thank you! The sky was interesting, half sunny, half dark.

@daisy Thanks so much, Kathryn!

Ha-ha, this is great. It looks like he is holding on to the leaf, not to get blown away.
