Yellow, black, orange, white, red and tan Butterfly on a pink flower. The original photo this came from I took at JC Raulston Arboretum (NC State) in Raleigh, NC

I know I should know what kind of butterfly this is... but I have not looked it up yet. I want to say a monarch, but I could be wrong. If anyone can correct me on this, I would appreciate it.

Yep it is a Monarch -Danaus plexippus_ and is sitting on a Purple Cone flower from the looks of it.
I love shooting butterflies of the types here in Calif it is the one I have never taken a photograph of that I am happy with. This is a nice though Erica, I like it.

It is strange how a picture can do that. It can brighten the entire work station or darken it. I love photography, you have a great eye for really amazing shots. That is the most important element, Knowing when to take the picture. I have problems with that sometimes. I miss a lot of great shots lol.

Thank you :) Yes it is amazing! I never really realized how much before I guess. As for the shots... well lol that's the strange part.. I just take them cos I like what I see.. and most of the time it turns out way different to see it in a photo than what I remember seeing in the first place. I basically point and click when I see something that interests me.. and once in a while it ends up something way more than I thought it was. Luck I guess LOL!
