Description

Another one from the thistle patch! First of the Monarchs I have seen this year and always before they were further up the hill on the Orange Butterfly Weed. So what a treat!

Worked a 12 Hr shift yesterday so trying to catch up today!

God bless, Patti

Lovely colours and great composition but i fear the main focus is on the thistle maybe slightly higher f/number would help.

This is lovely and why not the main focus on the thistle? It's a beauty too!! Just as long as it doesn't fancy growing in my garden. Your presentation and fine detail is superb.
