Yesterday I couldn’t wait  to go out for a walk between the rain showers. While I was gone, Phil saw this beautiful Monarch butterfly that was feasting on our still-blooming Zinnias.  (Click on blog link for other photos.)

It stayed for over an hour just flitting from flower to flower while we both had fun taking so many pics.

It was very cooperative as it posed in every position possible. Just beautiful!

It really was one of the prettiest Monarchs I’ve seen in a long time… such vibrant colors! I sure hope it starts its long southern journey soon and there are a lot of flowers along the way!
