I went to our local botanical gardens the other day. This Monarch had just come out of the chrysalis. The curator of the butterfly section told me I had missed it by less than an hour.



She stood unmoving, with the wings still moist. I asked how long till they fly. They can't fly until their wings dry up from the fluid. Usually takes one to two hours. So she had to stay put and suffer my attention for a while.

Very little crop, just for composition


While waiting, another one came to harass it several times


Here's a shot from the other side.


I enjoyed the moment.

Victoria Crowned pigeon (Goura victoria) from New Guinea.

The Zoo's aviary is very big and enclosed, where the birds roam free. Some are friendly and come very close to you.

DC-7B N836D

Was at the beach looking for pelicans when she came out of Opa-Locka. Not too close so it has a crop, therefore the low quality but couldn't pass the opportunity. I have better shots of her on the ground at the Homestead air show, in my gallery, but have not seen her in the air before.
