I had a specialist appointment today far from my home, so in giving myself lots of time to get there, I arrived ultra-early. No problem: I took the time to walk around the neighbourhood, and here is what I spotted! Finally- a shot of a monarch butterfly with its wings wide open! This made my day, especially since the poor monarch has now been designated as endangered.
Beautiful… love seeing them. I saw them at the butterfly garden but not really around my home… I do see several others here though and am happy about that. I’m so happy that you spotted this one and got such a nice shot.
@kvphoto Thank you, KV. I actually had a chat with a gardener nearby. I told him about my spotting, and he said that he hasn't seen a monarch all summer! Wow! There was a time when they were so prolific. I hope their numbers can increase over time. They are such beauties.
It is hard to capture butterflies, because they never keep still, and you did this perfectly
