Now is the time that you should be seeing #monarchs doing their thing. By now, they have reached those places in the U.S. where they regularly breed. Are you seeing any #monarchbutterflies or caterpillars where you are?

Hey, hey! My white-flowered swamp #milkweed plant is blooming! What’s blooming at your house?

Are you growing #milkweed? You should! Milkweed is the only host plant for #monarch caterpillars.
Monarchs’ numbers are down. If you want to see more monarchs, plant milkweed plants for caterpillars and plants with flowers for the #butterflies to feed on.

Summer has arrived in Minnesota. Sunblock, iced tea, and beautiful wildlife. 🦋

It’s cold and snowy in #Minnesota these days, but we have sunshine and butterflies in our hearts. #ButterfliesofBlueSky

I received a gift from my past self: these precious pictures of my kitty, who’s now 11 years old, were tucked away in an old flash drive! #catsofBlueSky

Don’t forget to take care of yourself! Make sure you have enough energy for yourself.

Good night, all. Sleep like you’re a kitten who’s exhausted from playing and has not a care in the world.

Some days are harder than others. Keep going!
It’s okay if you’re not good at everything. Keep going!
Happy holidays!

She’s a hard working kitten. So many naps to take. So many nap locations to cover. #CatsofBlueSky

It’s 7°F outside as I post this on a cold December night. Lenny the squirrel longs for a day when the outside water isn’t frozen. (This picture is from October.) Sorry little guy! On the upside, the snow is pretty. ❄️ ❄️ ❄️

It was bit brisk here in Minnesota today, with chillier temperatures to come this winter, to be sure. I have to make sure to keep the bird feeders full!

The time I found a lethargic bee so I placed him on a flower. Before long he was flying again!
(Is there a #BeesofBlueSky? I’ll find my people yet!)

Is there a #SquirrelsofBlueSky? I have a lot of great squirrel pics. This is Ivan. He’s spunky and quite chatty.

This night in May was a beautiful night in Minnesota for northern lights. Someday I’d like to see them in a place where they’re even more vivid.

One of the many things I love about #BlueSky is the ability to provide a description of photos. How cool!

Snow ❄️ fell in Minnesota this week, but I prefer instead to think back on warm sunny days and on beautiful delicate butterflies fluttering about. ☀️🦋🌳🌸
