I've never been able to take a good pic of a Monarch butterfly. It was on my butterfly bush this evening! It was so fun to take the pics. I must have taken 50 pics. Don't worry only posting 2!!! Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy taking and watching them.
Oh maybe the aren't Monarch and I'll learn what they are!

Good pictures! I know it's not easy to get a good photo of a butterfly that flits here and there and sometimes isn't still long enough. BTW, that's a very pretty butterfly bush.

Great pics - butterflies are not easy to 'capture' in pics.

Great pictures, thanks for sharing. Glad you had fun. I've always had a hard time, too getting butterflies to sit nice for me. Big Grin
