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
