These photos are fabulous Amy! So lovely to see such a beautiful creature among all your colour and sunshine, while here it is freezing point and foggy! :)
Kris - I've been relieved to see plenty coming in here, as I've seen other people mention seeing very few this summer. I wonder whether migration patterns have shifted a little...? At any rate, I
planted a desert milkweed a couple of months ago - hoping to encourage them to raise a generation or two while they're here...!

Beautiful! We seem to be outside the Monarchs flight path now - I've seen very few the last couple of years.

Thank you very much, Derek :) It was wonderful to be out among all that moving color...

Thanks so much, Cathy! This is such a beautiful season here - I hope it warmed your day a little bit ;-)

Magnificent pictures
and delightful to know that your plants are supporting the butterflies.

Diana - So glad you enjoyed them! It has been lovely to watch the butterflies able to come into this otherwise very lean area.
