Larkspur and Monarch

Uploaded: September 15, 2009

Description

This monarch hatched this morning and I released it on the Larkspur we have growing.
He hung around for about an hour but did not spread his wings much until he was ready to fly off.


Taken at 11am with my 70-200mm L lens, monopod.

I wish each of you a terrific Tuesday.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.

Wonderful close-up...hatching monarchs - such a cool and interesting thing to do - must be marvelous watching the whole process and when they spread their wings and fly, a most satisfying experience for you! Great capture, Kim! #7947762
