The Beautiful Monarch Butterfly

I tried all summer to get a good photo of a monarch Butterfly but they had eluded my lens and kept themselves well away till today. This butterfly spent at least half an hour visiting this hibiscus flower plant today so I was able to get numerous photos to the point I had trouble choosing one!
The last 2 days I have missed blipping for the first time in ages. I just found myself either to busy or just not in the mood to hunt down my next blip. I had become kind of obsessed with the idea that I couldn't break my run! My husband pointed out to me however that if it was becoming a burden and if I wasn't enjoying myself why do something your heart isn't 100% into..He was of cause very logical and sensible about it which kind of grated on me but he was right. Don't tell him that though! LOL!
