There was a Monarch hanging around my Tropical Butterfly Weed today.
Not that this is the first time--but I grabbed mu camera and put it on macro
and stood there--only a couple feet away and waited...

It came and went...and came again. Took a lot of shots trying to catch it with
wings fully open. But--as it fed--the wings remained closed.
Got a couple half way open-as it was about to take off. And then--finally--
a fully open, wings spread Monarch. Can't see the blooms--it is covering them.
I was, literally, inches away. Glad she did not mind too much.
