Spring Monarch

My daughter won first place for her 4-H Club competition wildflower arrangement and this beautiful Monarch butterfly kept flying around her arrangement and I caught a perfect shot of it when it landed (we believe it to be her recently passed grandfather joining her at the fair!) Thank you for considering this photo!
