The monarch’s beauty
Patiently waiting for the monarch butterfly’s arrival . . .
Angels watching over us
I cannot help but take this as a sign. Butterflies appear when angels are near . . . Our grandparents are looking over us. The amount of butterflies in my garden this morning was amazing, especially with the overcast skies.
It’s such a great feeling to be surrounded by them as we prepare for Hurricane Milton.
I haven’t seen these many monarch butterflies in my garden in such a long time. They were laying eggs, grabbing a drink.
The gulf fritillary flew so incredibly close before making a stop at my red penta.
In love
It doesn’t get any sweeter . . . our three month old golden retriever puppy, Lily, saying hello to a newly emerged female monarch butterfly before she took flight into the garden.
The monarch caterpillars have not been constant this summer in the gardens, but we have definitely had influxes from time to time. Today, we had six butterflies emerge taking our count to 571 successful releases over the years.
