The Monarch butterfly is just gorgeous! It is orange above with black veins and orange and white-spotted blackish margins. Its head and body are black with white spots.
I saw this beauty on one of my walks around town in August. I thought it was just gorgeous feeding on the pink flower.
Have you ever seen one? Spectacular, don’t you agree?

The detail on the butterfly renders it live, and the flower seems to be inclining its head in
an offering of its nectar to the butterfly. Gorgeous photography, Mel. Bless you for sharing
this beautiful moment.
