Only 800 miles to go

This lone Monarch butterfly stopped by my hanging baskets of Pentas on his way to the Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico. I was thrilled to see him, and I hope he gathered enough nectar to nourish him and help him on his way.

I was disappointed he was all alone but he seemed healthy so I don’t think he had been left behind, I guess his migration buddies just went elsewhere that day.

The migration is truly a mystery on how they actually accomplish it with so many miles. Beautiful shot.
