18: Monarch on the Dahlia

Monarch butterfly on a dahlia at the Esplanade

I took a very short walk in the Esplanade after my swim- very short- it was 30C and very muggy! A monarch butterfly was flitting around the garden area near me, then alighted on this dahlia. I was so pleased it stayed there long enough for me to get this shot!

    You will have spring appearing soon enough! And then my photos will change to autumn ones...
