Milkweed

This Milkweed has gone to seed. I find Milkweeds interesting, as they are the sole source of food for Monarch butterflies. This is one of those lucky shots. I took just two photos of this and one came out quite good. In fact, what you see here is changed very little from the original. I just got lucky. I rather like the way the sun glistens off the silk and the background is nicely out of focus.

As they say, if you can’t be good, by lucky.

Last year I saved some milk weeds that went to seed. This year I had quite a patch much to Dad's dismay. So this fall I moved the seeds to another spot. I hope the Monarchs liked them. Also the finches like them for nesting material.
