The monarchs must be migrating.
This is first one I have seen. I didn't see one all summer here in North Texas, but for the past week or so I have been seeing more and more. Here is one series. (BTW, these guys are quick and do not like to be photographed.)
I think I see one.
Yes, it is definitely a monarch enjoying the nectar of a comsos flower.
It just can't enough of that sweet nectar.
But the wind begins to blow so it hangs on firmly.
The wind calms down. It looks to have been worth it for the monarch. It stays put. It even adjusts positions opening its wings a bit.
Then it is back to getting nectar.
But enough time has passed. It is time to get going, possibly to Mexico.

Probably because I had to set the shutter speed so high to avoid motion blur. There was a lot of wind and the monarchs move quite frequently.

Thank you very much. I like it and it printed very nice at 13x19 and I matted and framed it for my mothers office. She says that she gets compliments on it daily.
