7/31/04 -- Butterfly, Monarch, One Each

Brookside Gardens, Wheaton, MD

Another shot from my visit to the butterfly exhibit at Brookside Gardens, Wheaton, MD. Almost didn't post it simply because the Monarch seems so common. But, common or not, this is still a beautiful creature, and I like this picture.

PS - a little sharpening of the butterfly and the flower on which it is perched. No level or color adjustment. Frame.

It may be common, but it's not called Monarch for nothing. A magnificent creature, and well captured here.

Great colors, looks to be the perfect butterfly shot.
