Monarch Butterflies

After much searching, I was finally able to capture a picture of a monarch butterfly while sitting in my backyard.  I had to wait until the weather was a little warmer, so I was able to find this one last week.  I took it kind of far away because I was afraid of scaring it so the picture is very small, but I got it!  This was taken in my backyard in Leon Springs off of Boerne Stage Road and IH10.

Also, I was in Vegas last weekend when we were first assigned this Blog and took a picture of this giant sized monarch butterfly that moved its wings at the Rainforest Cafe :) It's not real, but it was definitely interesting to look at!
