17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Monarch

I had heard the Monarch Butterfly was becoming scarce, however I have been pleasantly surprised to say I have seen so many the past two months! They seem to be everywhere I go, even flying over my car while driving!! I have been photographing Monarchs for years, but this is one of the best, showing all the gorgeous details of this beautiful butterfly.
