While I have a wealth of wild-life activity in my yard, the Monarchs fly through, but never alight! On this, our grandson's 13th birthday weekend, we're here to celebrate, and I've been sitting in the garden watching the hummingbirds darting through, plentiful woodpeckers flying over, and I've noticed three types of bees. As if to offer me a change, the monarchs land and stay awhile, only moving to offer up a variety of backgrounds.
I've cropped a couple dozen and have at least that many more, but time to post one and share my exuberance for this opportunity!
Oh this is so lovely. The monarchs also fly through Texas on their way to Mexico. So many restaurants and wineries have jumped on the bandwagon, planting butterfly friendly flowers. That Salvia is lovely. I know that has been a real treat for you, to just sit there and see so much natural beauty!
Congrats! You made it on the curated page. I love this image.. the capture of the moment, the composition, and that you chose it above all others in the mix. Appreciate the clarity of the foreground and the blurred background. Cool beans!
