FIRST MONARCH OF 2012
...and if you look just to the left of the berries, you will see the chrysalis shell. I never get tired of gazing at these beautiful creatures.
Happy Macro Monday.

A monarch in January??? How incredible! Maybe not for you but I don't see them till summer. They are so beautiful. I love their polk dots.
ReplyDeleteI never tire of seeing Monarch butterflies, either. Needless to say we don't get them over here except at butterfly farms.
ReplyDeleteThat's my question too! Already monarchs coming up? Too soon. They will not have much food in these northern climates now.
ReplyDeleteExcellent capture!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to find it in my garden come summer. :)
Fantastic image, and I love the fact you shared their migration track.
ReplyDeleteMy post for Monday: LANTANA BLOSSOMS & BERRIES
How nice! We will not see these lovely creatures for a while yet. Now, we are in the middle of an ice storm.
ReplyDeleteAh-h...how lucky for you! We don't see these until much later in the season. I suppose I can enjoy them through your post. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWe saw several this weekend as well. Guess the mild weather has them a bit confused.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing another great image...
I still have them in my yard as well. one of my favorites :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful butterfly. We don't get anything like that on this side of the pond.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful picture.
ReplyDeleteHi David, I saw several Monarchs in my garden this weekend as well. My heart always leaps at the sight of them. I’m always happy to have them around! Thanks for sharing your lovely photo!
ReplyDeleteWOW! You live in Zone 9b! That must be almost like Heaven!
ReplyDeleteYou asked if you could use my Monarch Waystation photograph. Yes, indeed you may!
Wonderful details of this beautiful butterfly!
ReplyDeleteNice capture!!!
ReplyDeleteA butterfly already! Wow! I'm going to be on the lookout for them now. Thanks for the link. Now, I wonder when the hummingbirds will start coming through.
ReplyDeleteI hope he's headed my way...beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I'll have to look for them soon, they are shy so you got a really good shot.
ReplyDeleteMacro Monday? A meme for every day of the week? I'm new at blogging so still figuring it all out.
Truly Beautiful. Love the contrast of the colors in this photo.
