Monarch on Passion Flower

I waited and waited for one of the hundreds of monarchs to land on the one Passion flower. Finally my patience paid off.
I'll be gone for the next several days to go to NYC to watch my daughters one woman show. I look forward to seeing your photos when I return

Wow such a pretty picture. I always am in awe at the passion flower. Its such a unique flower. Lovely you caught the monarch on it. I seem to always sit and wait for a bug to land on something I feel would make a good shot. It often takes forever before it happens but its worth it. Fav!

Besides your superb photography, this pavilion must have had superb lighting!
