This butterfly/flower series is fantastic! Such bright colors!

Snemann, on July 28, 2007, said:

Agreed! And this one really deserves an "art" tag!

Ryan, Snemann, and Marilyn - Thank-you so much for your comments! I'm very honored! It's funny where one can find photo ops - this flower is a weed I've let grow in the garden next to my car, and the butterfly seemed to be posing there when I arrived home this day. I sure never knew how strange Monarch butterfly's heads are! I never would have thought to zoom way in on it if it weren't for everyone else's shots I've seen and admired on Panoramio.

Thank-you to all the mysterious viewers on September 18! If by chance you're linking to this photo by a site other than Panoramio, please leave a comment! I'm curious where the recent hits are coming from. Thanks!

I just saw this on the Most Viewed thread - maybe it's just because it has been nominated for Panoramio Elections and shows up on the Elections forum thread and tag page. I only have a couple there, but their views have skyrocketed since they were nominated. This is a big contest! People participate!

PS. This is an amazing, beautiful picture. So close in - it's like a portrait of a butterfly. Yellow star from me!
