Happy Hour by cjwhite

Happy Hour

at the Red Clover Bar.

Some butterflies let me get fairly close to them. The bigger butterflies seem to be less likely to fly away, if I get in their space. I thought I would see how close I could get to this Monarch. :0)

Thank you for your views, comments, and faves! They are always appreciated! :0)

Super sharp focus and vivid color!

There's one in Pismo Beach, CA. If you have time to take off and come out, I'd be happy to head out there. yeah, right, just take off and fly halfway across the country. But it's a really cool spot.
