Catching a Monarch - before they Migrate!

[lrich]

Really happy to caught this image of this beautiful Monarch butterfly today - on my iPhone 5.

The Monarchs migrate every fall starting in early October. This guy has a long trip ahead of him!

Thanks @muhajir - sorry I didn't have my camera with me but the iphone did an ok job. Hard to catch those very flighty butterflies.

Beautiful monarch butterfly...

Thanks @julee! Glad to see more of them this year. For a while there there weren't too many of them around.

Love Monarchs! See my post about my Monarch caterpillars. We are expecting them to migrate through North Texas in about 2 weeks.

Great pic and good work getting with phone .. I've tryed many times with mine, but by the time I was focused .. It moved..

[lrich]

i know, i felt really silly trying to follow it around while it moved from flower to flower...they do flitter!

Photo noise, you can retouch this image by filters in Photoshop. @lrich

I know, its an iphone 5 pic on a moving target. Usually I use a more effective camera but you can't tell those butterflies to only show up then 😊.
Thanks for stopping by.
