Monarch Pas de Deux
This was an extremely lucky and difficult shot to take. I had spotted two Monarch butterflies following one another around the garden. I had already been taking some macro shots, so I simply set my speed at 1/2000, and followed the Monarchs shooting as I went along. I must have appeared to be quite hilarious, if any neighbors were watching, as I gave chase, pointing my camera up down and all around. The butterfly on the left appears to be on the flower, but is actually in the air. Both turned out to be males.
