Still on goldenrod; it's what's blooming.  At least it's not a monarch!  Although it mimics the Monarch, (and in the Southwest, the Queen,) it's more closely related to the Admirals and Sisters.  Sticking with my foray away from "portraits" into something more environmental; "bugscapes"?

Hi

A nice image - I like the open space in the upper area, that adds a nice balance to the whole


All the best
Matthew

Love the idea-"bugscapes" :). This is a lovely one with the "bug" looking off into the field of goldenrod.
