Veeeeery caaaaarefully, Andy. (hee)

Nah, seriously .. I'd watched her, most curiously .. for a good while.

Along with a somewhat similar experience the year before - while observing a Question Mark butterfly on a Viburnum. I really got a special treat, that time. If you're interested, there's more about the Question Mark, here > http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/460848/

Sometimes, me and my cameras sorta get lost all up in the leaves of the bushes, flowers and even the weeds .. in the yarden. And sometimes, I get extra lil treats ...

Mags, I had a Monarch yesterday morning that I'm sure would have let me touch it.
Here is the pic. I don't think I've posted it on DG yet. Everybody snaps these.
I must have been about 4 inches away.
