Sipping sweet nectar......

Pollen-bearing stamens
gentle lady flutters round
sipping sweet nectar.......

......the first monarch butterfly for a new year. 

There's been a few fluttering around my garden but this is the first one I've seen settle and manage to capture.

Tiny Tuesday's theme is Animal Kingdom, thanks to Thisislife for hosting this month :)

Challenges:
I note there's been a few changes this year with some of the challenges, they are as follows:

Mono Monday - stayed the same with a theme each week

Tiny Tuesday - a theme most week's

Wild Wednesday - no theme, anything wild

Wide Angle Wednesday - a theme each week with the tag ending in 18 for this year. This week's theme is 'water', tag 030118
No longer using the first or last letter of the month or number of items for the month.

Abstract Thursday - stayed the same with no theme for the first Thursday of the month and a theme for the other weeks.

Flower Friday - the tag has changed. Now recording the date, underscore and year eg this week's will be FF5_2018 or FlowerFriday5_2018

Silly Saturday - no theme, no change

I needed to note this for myself as I tend to duck in and out of the challenges, hope it's useful to all :)

Tuesday.......hot working in the garden, very calm most of the day.
