I have been watching the neighbours butterfly bush waiting for some monarchs to show up! There was finally two there today, so out came my camera! Voila! I have just learned that the two small dots on it's wings means it's a male monarch! Going up north this weekend so can hardly wait to see if I see any wildlife. Won't be posting until Sunday night! Wish me luck!
Picture perfect, Faye!! The details on your Monarch are fantastic. It's so nice that he had his wings open and level inside your margin of focus. I'm thinking I may need to plant some butterfly bushes next year in the hopes of maybe luring more of these winged beauties to my yard.
