Different Looks......

...thanks for the pose

You never truly get over the awesome beauty of a Monarch butterfly.  I see them now everyday, and the tendency would be to be "used" to them, but watching them flit about in their rhythmic ballet , I sense the extraordinary creatures that they are....and they are without doubt extraordinary.  I hope you enjoy the photos, they were so generous in posing for me....they are absolutely stunning to be around....see ya           jimmy g

...witness a moment

To me, there is splendor in this singular Monarch butterfly in its own world, defying gravity as it searches for the nectar of this flower.  Nature at this basic form has its own wealth of awe and perfect beauty.  Witnessing this moment in time humbles me and allows me to be grateful to be a small part of it.  See ya..............jimmy g
