Sunflowers and a Monarch Butterfly

Ever since I watched the IMAX show, Flight of the Butterflies, I have had an appreciation for the Monarch butterfly.  Did you know hundreds of millions of Monarch butterflies migrate from the mountains in Mexico through the United States to Canada?  It was exciting to discover a Monarch flying among the sunflowers I photographed in our yard.  Included below are a few images captured during my sunflower photo session.  Enjoy!
