Traveler, by Joaquín Alonso Arellano Ramírez

I love Monarch butterflies since my childhood, they are so delicate and at the same time have a great strength to achieve one of the most impressive migrations. It’s fantastic to seem them here in Monterrey during its migration and I found this little one in the natural Park “La Estanzuela”. My intention in this photo is reflect the space, the green space, that surrounds the butterfly.
