Monarch Butterfly

My was this one hard to catch! Egads I must of done 50 laps around my yard waiting for this butterfly to settle down and let me take a pic. It was worth it though. I love Monarchs and these days it just don't seem like there a lot of them. I remember when I was a kid they were everywhere! Now it seems one just flutters by every once in a great while.

Such a beautiful capture, love the colour combination of the flower an the butterfly, you will be very fit with all the running around that you are having to do lol :D but the end results make it worth the effort. :)
