Finch…enjoying the sun

A just born orange and black colored monarch butterfly holds tightly to a leaf.

Watching the birth of a new monarch never ceases to amaze. She’s hanging out now just drying her stained glass wings.

The road from the Skyfall scene (in the Bond movie) threads through fields. The bridge is next to the "Skyfall waterfall" in the middle of the image. There a hills to the left, right and center. There are storm clouds swirling above to complete the Bond vibe …or is it just the Scotland Highlands vibe?

Where's James?

An almost florescent red, small red flower that is round with many small petals protruding from the center (to look a bit like a pompom) is on the right side of the image, while one small violet-colored flower is next to it on the right. Green and tan-colored grasses fill the background. San Luis Obispo, California
