You have NO idea how happy this post makes me!!!
Lovely Monarchs fluttering free on the breeze
gracefully dancing through the air with ease.
Alighting so softly on flowers of pink
sampling nectar, a delectable drink.

There is a lovely rain garden in the parking lot of the store across the street from my house, and I can see it from my patio. Lately I’ve been noticing tons of Monarch butterflies fluttering around the various blossoms over there, it’s a lovely sight even from a distance, but the other morning while I was out there having my coffee, I decided to go over and take a closer look. I brought my camera with me just in case there was opportunity to capture any of these little beauties on wings, and I figured even if I can’t get any nice shots of the Monarchs, the purple coneflower are at…

Thank goodness that people share that they care about their fellow creatures. I was up in Carpinteria two weekends ago, and I got a couple of good photos of a Monarch on the path beside the beach-side park. Last fall I got some good shots of Monarch caterpillars out at Venice Beach — another beach-side location.
Just last night I was near tears because no one was reporting sightings and TYU, here was the post I read today. Thanks and praises!
I’m also seeing some big Monarch-like butterflies in my yard. I haven’t had a chance to photograph them & make sure that it’s really a Monarch. I’ll keep you posted!
I’m so glad to hear CA has some sightings. Such good news!
Impresionante El Nivel De Detalle Y El Enfoque De Las Fotografía. Realmente SOn Muy BUenas. Un Saludo.
I saw a Monarch today for sure in my yard. I tried to get a picture, but he wouldn’t hold still for me. We have 3 “Sweet Memories” (duranta erecta) and that’s where he visits the most. We have also the white variety (alba) that he doesn’t visit much. He likes the purple flowers.
Thanks so much for the good news. Duranta is a beautiful shrub. I bet there are lots of good flowers to sip in your area!

Gorgeous and stunning! So happy to have found your blog!
Thank you and welcome – please visit again!
I most definitely will! Heart to Heart Robyn
Oh gosh – how lovely!
Thanks, Fi. Are you back yet from your trip, bet it was fun!
