I was hoping I would get an open shot, but when you’ve got a dog at the end of the non-camera hand leash, you take what you can get!

We have two “Butterfly Bush” plants in our front garden and, at this time of you, it is a very busy place! Presumably they are fueling up ready for their long trek south. It is wonderful to just sit and watch them.

We often do! Sit on the front porch with a drink, and watch the butterflies! Retirement is wonderful. 🙂

I can imagine it now – and it sounds amazing! I think I’m still a ways away from retirement yet.

I think so, but harder to be sure when looking at the underwing.

Yes, you were luck to find a monarch at rest…they are strong flyers. Thanks for this marvelous post.

I am going to keep an eye out for more of them, as apparently they are pretty common here.
