17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
emerging monarch
This Monarch just began to emerge when this was taken. I visited butterfly farms in Florida and fell in love with the beauty of butterflies. If you talk to them they look at you. When you move they follow you and maintain eye contact. When I came home, I began raising them. I still enjoy holding them up and watching them fly for the first time with freedom and innocence.
