Passing Through

Another monarch sighting! This one is feeding on the nectar of a swamp milkweed, planted as part of the new wildflower gardens on campus. This beauty attracted quite the audience as there have been so few of them this summer.

@susiemc @365projectorgjoworboys Hi Sue and Jo! Yes, seeing the first one was a real thrill! And now, today, this one! Yes, Jo, "chuffed" is the word! :-)

A lovely shot - the only way I can see butterflies are here on 365 this year it seems !

[Heather]

@beryl Yes, it's puzzling, Beryl. Do you think it's because of all the rain you folks have been getting?

Very nice shot

[Shutterbug]

And it looks like the audience didn’t bother it a bit. Nice spotting and capture.

Another beautiful butterfly and the new wildflower garden is doing its job. It has been lovely this summer to see so many wild flowers on the road side
verges and wasteland areas perhaps next year we might see a bounty of butterflies.

Beautiful. I saw three in the park this afternoon but it was windy and none of them would settle anywhere.

[Heather]

@gardencat Hi Joanne. You saw *three* today! That's good news and lucky you! You're sure right about the wind today! I was really surprised that this one settled from time to time. We needed to merge our experiences :-)

How gorgeous, both butterfly and the wildflower. Lovely selective focus and dof.
