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?
