Yay Monarchs! Good job.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteGood deed! I once recovered a tagged Monarch which had been raised in the back yard in the next county..
ReplyDeleteI so wish I'd kept seeds from the milkplant that use to be next door. I need to order some. Love seeing the butterflies, but they have been scarse here. Beautiful photos. Thanks for the link up

Amazing photos
ReplyDeleteI use to have caterpillars on Swan Plants when my kids were growing up - such a fascinating process.
ReplyDeleteThose photos are gorgeous, thanks for hosting Sue...
ReplyDeleteThat's a great series (all together) but that caterpillar one is really lovely, strangely. THe curve of the tail and the detail of the legs and stripes...
ReplyDeleteThe caterpillar is a stunning capture
ReplyDeleteStunning photos, Sue!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday and thanks for hosting.
All three photos showcase exceptional beauty. Best of luck as you enter the next season!
ReplyDeletePrecious work Sue. The Monarch story is well known on this side of the Atlantic.
