While I waited for the monarch butterfly to lite on the Milkweed plant so I could get a photo it danced around the yard, finally teasing me by flying above my head. That is when I raised my camera and clicked, capturing a Blue July Sky and Bright Orange butterfly all in one place for a single moment.

This is beautiful! I love to see the Monarchs in my yard, but then I grow milkweed, too!
A friend of mine – an avid gardener – looked at my yard and asked, “what are those plants that look like milkweed?” Why, they are milkweed, was my reply. I think he could not understand why I was growing a “weed” in my front yard.

I have a landscape version of this photo would you like it for the calendar? I was thinking of sending a few bee portraits along too.
