Monarch Butterfly

We walked along the promenade to the Magic Tea House and Garden.  We watched the world go by and then decided to have a beer and go into the Magic Garden.  All the gardeners were gone today so we sat and read in the sunshine (in the shade for me). Decided to go back to the hotel for lunch and we were all so hot when we got back it was beer and coke instead of wine.
This butterfly was very obliging and posed for quite a while.  He looks in pretty good shape with no battered wings.

Hot day today with blue sky and no clouds and no wind.
