07.05.13, a photo by colemama on Flickr.

Dainty and picturesque, this monarch flitted from one flower to another. Just barely stopping long enough to pulsate its wings through a couple of cycles of open and close. My attempts to capture the mosaic patterning in intense saturation were blurred...thus, settled for this duller version. This stretch of holiday weekend has been pleasing for photographic purposes, despite my own flitting about. Naples Botanical Garden, Naples, FL
