Return of the insects

We finally found some butterflies, skippers and bees at the Franciscan Monastery in Northeast Washington. I knew they had to be somewhere!

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Excellent Monarch Butterfly shot perfect on the pose showing the beautiful wings and ballet legs they do love the Lantana .
The light is perfect and the colorful bokeh is supreme.
Tack sharp .
