Monarch Migration


Shade with back light really show the deep rich color of this young Monarch butterfly.

The monarch migration from Canada to Mexico has reached Louisiana and my backyard pentas.

For best viewing please choose the ORIGINAL size image.

Comments welcome. Thanks for looking.

Very nice close up work, Phil. Beautiful colors and the butterfly is sharp and crisp. Excellent depth. Very nice to see an intact one this late in the year. The setting is natural and a pleasing addition to the overall composition. Well done. BV
