When I saw the Monarchs in my garden a couple of days ago, it was so rare, I got several shots. This was another angle that really shows his colors. It is not as clear at the other one as he was about to fly away when I clicked. Nature in my backyard is hard to describe, all year. I am amazed every year at what I see. Something different every season.

Lovely picture! As you may already know, I really love butterflies ?.
A nice picture of a butterfly-it’s hard to paint it-they are so restless
Thanks it was a challenge to capture.
Love the photo! Keep on cheering us all up.
Thanks, I will try to keep the smiles going. 🙂
they’re on their way down to Mexico to celebrate Dia de los Muertos
Absolutely, they will be getting their vibe on…
technically, they’re meant to be psychopomps and not celebrants…
I remember seeing such a butterfly, even though I rarely see one. So beautiful!
These are rare in my backyard for sure.
Nature surprises us every day
Yes it does, all in my backyard for me.
We normally see the monarch around spring and summer mostly along the coastal areas. I used to assume that they were indigenous to South Africa
I just read this Bradley…
