soft light, heart and pollen - a photo on Flickriver

            It was rainy and cloudy over the weekend, so I decided to try a shot with no sun. There is no sun in this shot, and you can tell that underneath the mexican sunflower you can see the green stem much better because of the soft light. The only part of the monarch butterfly in focus is near the head, as the wind was blowing and my camera does not acquire a very good focus in soft light.
Yet the colour is there and I like it.
