Monarch by kathiecb

Monarch

I've been chasing a Monarch butterfly around our yard all summer. You would be correct in thinking you haven't seen any butterfly shots on my project. This is merely a reflection of my success.
Finally he stopped flitting about so I could land a shot or 50. I'll just show you 1.

Thanks to everyone for getting Rude to PP. I'm delighted you enjoyed the shot.
Picture perfect !! Instant fav

Well done. I never manage to get butterfly shots either. I know how difficult they are. I only get within about 6 ft of a butterfly and it is gone. I did manage to get one shot though last year, but no success since, so full marks here. You deserve a gold star. ha ha.

Brilliant capture.

@mbemis Thanks Mannie. I took more pics the following morning on a different plant and realized it's all the same butterfly. Not a good indicator of their future.

@onewing Wow. Gold star. High praise indeed. LOL I must have looked like a lunatic chasing a butterfly around. I took a couple of shots the following morning on a different plant and comparing the 2 days realized it was the same butterfly. Their shrinking numbers sadden me.

@ladymagpie @taffy @thresheg @angeliekevl @paulaw @joemuli @eyesmile thanks for everyone's kind comments and favs. I was happy with the shot. I've been looking for a chrysalis but haven't found one yet. It would be cool to shot the various stages.
