The photo is probably of a Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly and not of a Monarch. I like the colourful sharp photo though. Reply
Hello Leaf and Twig! Thanks for “liking” my post “Sweet Pepper Bush” on uribotanicalgardens.wordpress.com Your pictures are beautiful! Today’s picture ‘Monarch’ reminds me very much of one I took which is posted here: http://uribotanicalgardens.wordpress.com/2011/09/15/losing-my-voice/ I’m looking forward to visiting again! Best, Gabrielle Reply

Hi there, the butterfly photo looks a little light for a Monarch but it sure is a beauty. I love the way the wings are standing up. Reply
Nice photo. The butterfly indeed looks royal, but John is right–a monarch is an orange butterfly. The banner image on my blog is a monarch on a purple cone flower in my garden. Anyway, it is still an attractive image. Reply
Hi Garden Joe – yes you and John are absolutely correct. I exercised ‘creative license’ in the text. Reply
This is sweet, the flower and the butterfly, and the words. Thanks for stopping by, best regards and greetings from sunny Paris Reply
This lovely. Beautiful photo and intriguing words together add so much more.

Ah yes. You are right. I exercised a little creative license – to get at the “feel” of it.
