Photographed in southern Kentucky. This seems to be a good year for Ironweed. There are spectacular displays in old pastures (cattle won't eat it, so it's often the only plant left in some fields) all over right now. The butterflies like it, and look great on it.

Two beautiful shots! It was good of the butterfly to land on flowers with such complementary colors! I've enjoyed all your photos lately, John. Keep 'em coming!
