Monarchs/ Winged

Monarch sipping nectar from Buddleia (butterfly bush)

Finally the monarchs have arrived in my yard. They  must have been waiting for my Buddleia to b;oom.

Hey, I was here first!

I am linking to NF Winged (Nature Footsteps) HERE.

The monarch has such beautiful, bright patterns on its wings. Great captures!

Ah...I haven't seen any Monarch's this year...perhaps they're all still in Ontario?

Lovely shots!

That first shot is an excellent composition with beautiful color and detail. WOW! The second one I like for its flitting quality. Well done.
