Monarch butterfly at the local park by my house. I find the natural world around us to be one of the most pure and beautiful things and yet we so often overlook it.

You are so right about there being so much beauty in our natural environment. I love the contrast between the beautiful butterfly, full of life -- and the plant that looks like it may be in its last days.
I think many people in this challenge are entering an image with any theme whatsoever and adding the word 'pure' to the front. Pure should convey completeness, being undiluted, innocence, etc. This isn't a pure example of anything.
A nice capture of a butterfly. Shotting during the middle of the day brings out high contrast and I think there's a bit too much in this photo. I like the orange in the butterfly - you could even saturate it a bit more.
