First Flight

I first spotted this male Monarch butterfly on the gate in my backyard. A short time later he flew to a Scarlet Milkweed plant in my garden. Here he continued to periodically opened and closed his wings as he went through the process of fully expanding and drying his wings. Shortly after I took this photo, he took off on his "First Flight".
