Nature's Monarch

Nice photo of Vanessa cardui (Painted Lady). The contrast with the pink Echinacea and white Liatris is quite pleasing.

Wow! someone who knows all the names..Biology and the sciences were not my better subjects. My good buddy Chris Harris is a wiz at all those latin names for plants and such. Me, the butterfly was pretty and the flowers were pretty and the super glue worked JUS KIDDIN.. Anyway thanks for the info and the great comment...RAY ps I just rewrote this because of some grammer mistakes. Guess English goes on my list:>)

Normally don't do butterflies and insects but this one hanging upside

down really intrigued me. Plus he was really nice and just stayed

still...RAY

Hi Ray- Beautiful shot. I like the position of the butterfly and the foliage makes a great background. Very well done. Best wishes-Jim

I agree with what Ian says.

Hey Ray,

 

Different kind of shot. Great focus and colors.

 

It looks like you have been busy wearing out the camera!

 

I just took some grey ones all of a syyle. If you drop by them I would lover your comments.

 

Have fun!
