This male Monarch best exemplifies light for me for #WeekLforLight in the #AlphabetChallenge

He surpasses the most beautiful stained glass in the most beautiful cathedrals. He is Light! 🖤🧡🤍

Good morning. I thought you might enjoy a Polyptych (four panel series) of this beautiful male Monarch in the zinnias from yesterday.

Again, I am trying to include a few more wide shots of the butterflies in the garden.

A beautiful female Monarch popped by this evening for #InsectThursday 🧡🖤🤍

She is a giant one. Recharging with Zinnia nectar. Making the trip to Mexico.

Monarch for #SaturdayOrange

We continue to have a steady migration of Monarchs. I imagine more next week with the cooler weather up north.
