A monarch butterfly was feeding on the nectar of swamp milkweed. blossoms. There are 30 milkweed species in the central U.S., and this milkweed was growing on the edge of a pond.  The background for the photo is the sky reflected off the unfocused pond surface.

 

Bonus photo:  a tough capture, a monarch butterfly in flight.

 

I continually checked myself for ticks today!
