Beautiful Monarch

I love these beautiful Butterflies. Every stage has beauty from the grub right through. This one has just emerged and getting ready to fly. The extra is of it as it sits drying its wings.
Wonderful rain yesterday and last night but gee has it been cold today. We so needed the rain so mustn't complain about the cold. Have the fire going so nice and snug.
Thankyou for all your lovely comments on my last two flower blips tonight will endeavour to catch on some of your journals.
