Last week I walked down to the Gathering Place to visit the Monarchs.
There were literally dozens of them flying around around the wetland garden area.
I wanted to get a closer look, so I stepped down closer to the edge of the pond by the milkweed and just watched as they flit and fluttered from flower to flower.
My heart could barely contain the joy of it.
I never knew until recently that butterflies roosted in trees at night. So I stuck around until dusk and watched as several monarchs flew from the milkweed into the nearby tree.
Sigh…so amazing. I can’t think of a more delightful and beautiful way to the start the week!
Happy Monday!
These images are so beautiful! We have a place where the monarchs gather in the fall/winter. This makes me want to go. ?
Oh Carolyn, you should totally do that. I can’t even imagine how amazing that would be to see!
Wow, simply wow. They’re wonderful creatures but the way you’ve captured them is absolutely magical too, those photos are so beautiful! I only saw one during the summer in a forest near my home town, and I was captivated. Seeing more must be really special. ?
Thank you so much Lucie! They truly are special little creatures!
