A November Treat

I found this beautiful butterfly in my backyard yesterday. It seemed an odd time of year for such a find but I don't know a lot about butterflies.

Very pretty! I hope he or she makes it south soon.

It's a monarch, delaying its flight to Cape May, it seems. Nice late find. V

The wings look like stained glass in that lovely light. This is late, but there seem to always be some lingering, perhaps to their detriment. I hope it is able to move south! V

It is an unusual find at this time and this is a dramatic image of it.

This monarch is a bit late with its migration; hopefully it won't freeze to death! I saw one in my yard last week!
Beautiful capture Jane! BV

Oh what a great find and shot! These Monarch butterflies migrate from north to south but normally this late. V
