For just one day.......

Uploaded: September 18, 2009

Description

This is the 8th Monarch we hatched this year and the only one soo far who didn't survive to fly away.
He came out of his cocoon with damaged wings.
I put him on the flowers so he could eat.

Taken at 4 pm with my 180L lens - handheld.

I wish each of you a terrific Thursday.
I will catch up on commenting tonight - thank you for stopping by ;)
