Two of many monarch butterflies I saw today on a walk at nearby botanical gardens. Most of them were too busy flying around to stop anywhere I could catch them on camera, but there were a few that paused long enough.

The name might seem odd, but when they open their wings, the inside shades to a bright blue near the body.
