Monarch

The theme again made me go once more to Phipps Botanical Gardens. Probably my last visit there...

It is sooooooo hot! On the way, I thought about taking some photos of trees, which despite hot weather (or because of it) started losing their leaves. And... It turned out that I forgot to put my memory card back to the camera... I had to turn around and go back to get my memory card out of my computer. The weather was killing me. Walking was terrible...

The photo that I was counting on was a nice flower (possibly Nepenthes - a tropical pitcher plant) or a flower with a butterfly. Seems like pitcher plants were (re)moved. Fortunately, there were still some butterflies! Yay!

SOoC with Olympus M.Zuiko 40-150mm lens.
