Monarch Butterfly on Echinacea Flower

One of my favourite photography subject pairings happened in my backyard again: Monarch butterflies supping nectar from Echinacea flowers. Love the mix of vibrant colours. Here are the highlights:

Insects on Purple Flowers

Went for another walk in Woodbine Park, and saw that a lot of purple flowers (a type of purple daisy?) was attracting all sorts of pollinating insects.

Caught a nice shot of a Monarch Butterfly sipping nectar from a purple flower. Along with the details of the butterfly I also love the bokeh on this one:

And here’s another of a bee on the same type of flower:

Fauna in Woodbine Park

Our dog YoBob is back from the cottage as the girls head to Camp Couchiching for the rest of the month, so he needed a walk. A good excuse for me to head to Woodbine Park, where I took pictures of the various fauna I saw down there on what was a hot day.

Here’s my favourite, of a Monarch Butterfly on an Echinacea Flower:
