Monarch butterfly on purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea)
This monarch is looking a little rough but is still out enjoying what it really likes - the nectar of purple coneflowers!

My favorite summer sight! And I had not had one yet til you posted this gem.
Hard to pay attention to the flower with the butterfly stealing the show like that.
Pretty amazing!
Love the butterfly. We have had a lot of them at our farm this summer.
Hard to decide which is the prettiest, the butterfly or the flower. But the two together make a wonderful composition. I also like whatever processing you did to the photo. It has a special quality.
He may be rough, but at least you caught one...not sure I have even captured one this year...if I did it has been a while. And this is good photo, too.
I see hundreds of little yellow butterflies flying around my house, but I have yet to capture one with my camera. You did marvelously with this one... butterfly AND colorful flower!
HEllo dear EG,
Impressive, this picture is magnificent!The flower is adorable but I'm enchanted by the sweet butterfly, how lucky you are to capture so perfect moment!

They are in all their glory around here. Simply beautiful.
Great shot of the butterfly on the coneflower.
Beautiful shot of the butterfly! I love Purple Coneflowers.
Beautiful capture. I haven't seen very many Butterflies around this year. Lots of flowers her so I wonder why. I'll keep looking. MB
I haven't seen one and I don't expect to..lucky you...
It seems like all the butterflies I find have a chunk out of their wings. The perfect ones won't stay put long enough for me to get a picture. ;)
Finally, a resolution I love and really want to keep. Good article. Iflorist.co.uk
This is a wonderful macro of both the butterfly and the cornflower.
