Great looking Monarch capture Carol! The problem with me is that at that same time of morning I'm still trying to get up to operating temperature. :-) Don

Thanks Steve for the info,this is really great to really know because next summer I will be out there very early.

Carol, you're absolutely correct. The first thing any insect or reptile must do in the morning is warm up to "operating" temperature as quickly as possible. This is also the period when they are most vulnerable to predators. So early morning sunbathing is both a necessary and perilous routine, as well as a great opportunity for wildlife photographers!

Thanks Sparkle,Karen and Steve,I was able to get very close to this one early one morning before it got active.

I find with the butterflies they stay still the best the earlier you get out there in the morning.

This is my idea of it ,it may not be any truth to it.LOL

Carol, I agree with the other comments that this is a remarkably sharp image, and it fully does justice to the butterfly's beauty.

That is the most clear shot of a butterfly that I have ever seen. Superb shot.
