Butterfly on a thistle
This photo was taken during the summer of 2018. My backyard often has invasive plants and flowers growing, which I didn't plant. This particular summer there were lots of thistle. When it first grows, it is a thawny plant. Don't touch or step on it. I had a few that i missed to remove, but they blossomed with these beautiful purple petals. They attracted so many nectar, loving birds, and insects like this monarch butterfly that I had to capture this.
As this was afternoon light, I was able to capture the bokeh effect in the background using my Nikon d5500, flash on, 600mm tamron lens, aperture f6.3 & shutter speed 1/80s
