Single-Day Series: Monarch (April 24th)

We're still in the gardens of the Canada Pavilion today. While there are hundreds of butterflies to be seen in the butterfly tent at Flower & Garden, there are also countless more flitting around throughout the rest of EPCOT. Some are probably escapees from the tent, some probably just happened upon the festival and opted to stick around and enjoy the buffet.

While I was walking around Canada, I noticed this monarch working her way through the flowers. I stood there for ages waiting for her to take flight at just the right angle. This ended up being my favorite photo of the lot. She's catching the light in a way that makes her wings look like stained glass.

Taken at 125mm, 1/1250 second to catch her suspended in midair, f/2.8 to blur everything around her, ISO 160.
