This is one of the monarchs that we raised from eggs on.
I missed it coming out of its cocoon by not more than 20 minutes.
It ate for a few minutes and then fly into the trees to soak up some sun.
Taken at 2 pm with my 180mm L lens - Handheld.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend and your comments are always welcomed and appreciated. (as are any tips ;))
