This particular Monarch was born on a milkweed plant that we have on our patio - We watched it develop from the caterpillar stage to this beautiful Monarch Butterfly over a couple of weeks. Nature is amazing!
*After emerging, and while still drying the wings before the flight to Mexico, Leena simply held up a gold reflector just before sunset to give the background this warm appearance.

The background is such a beauty of colors and glow. What it does for the picture is gorgeous. That is something special to watch, the way they develop. A work that lets one bond with nature and God. It is a beautiful butterfly and you capture that. So pretty Jeff. #11645399
