By “monarch color” I don’t mean “typical” monarch photos (which, incidentally, I love to take) but a different category altogether. The following photos make use of different angles and lighting conditions to present artful monarchs.
Not that monarchs need anything beyond a standard photo. But I find it appealing to present monarchs in a different light, so to say. The following six photos are all of the same male monarch who visited yesterday.






And there you have it: Monarchs are beautiful. That is, if anyone required any proof beyond eyesight.
Of course, I have a traditional photos of monarchs too, as well as an overall list of Pennsylvania butterflies that I have photographed.
