This lovely monarch butterfly was an irresistible subject, despite the difficult light (noon, bright sun). I had been shooting dahlia macros in the shade, and the butterfly was interested enough in this magenta dahlia that I had time to switch lenses. Difficult light or not, I wasn’t about to ignore this little beauty! (Olympus E-510 & Zuiko 70-300mm zoom at 226mm, f/7.1, 1/320 sec., midday sun, handheld)
