Remarkable, Tony. Of lately, I've been loving seeing macro images. When you think you know what things look like, as in your butterflies, you find out how little you know. I love the linear parts of the butterfly, then you compliment them with the linear flower. Way to go. The three days paid off.

Definitely A whole new challenge when they are flying in the wild. The area is supposed to be loaded ith Monarchs this time of the year - I saw one! I figure it is a good exchuse to drive back down there.

This is an absolute spectacular macro butterfly!

Thank you, Kristie. I really appreciate that.

Is that the national butterfly center that will be bulldozed for the border barrier? Lovely image.

Thank you for your comment on my image. The National Butterfly Center will certainly be impacted, but not leveled by bulldozers if the wall is built. The NBC and the government are currently involved in litigation over the construction and evertthing there is on hold.
