I enjoy photography of all kinds. If it was how I supported my family financially, it would be a dream come true.

    What a gourgeous combination of a butterfly and a flower in my favourite colour, orange – just love this:)

  • Thank you so much. I love orange as well and the tithonia or mexican sunflower gets planted every year in my garden (where this was taken) since I took this photo a couple of years ago. Monarchs seem to love it. It must be delicious. LOL
