Monarch on Galardia

When I got home from a hike at the Secret Garden Preserve in Kennebunk the other day, there was a Monarch Butterfly, the first I have seen this season, in our yard to greet me. It was hovering around the single Galardia flower that survived the winter in our front garden. I have a full, wings open, shot, but the butterfly completely covers the flower, and I like the contrast in both color and shape.

Presence of monarchs always gladdens my heart.
