This Monarch Butterfly was photographed in Cave Creek Canyon in Southeast Arizona.
This male Blue Dasher finally lit on an old dried weed just long enough for me to get a few shots. San Jacinto Wildlife Area, California.
While birding at San Jacinto Wildlife Area, I noticed that September is apparently a good month for dragonflies of many types. They may be migrating through, and I noticed many were just flying around, and not lighting. This one paused for its close-up.
