  1. Beautiful blooms and scenes, and it's great to see the pollinators on your flowers--especially the monarchs, which have been less plentiful in the Madison area this summer. I'm seeing more now, so hoping the numbers were just higher north of here.

    1. There have been a number of baby Monarch caterpillars on my milkweed. They must be making their final journey north - I think.

  2. Thanks for these lovely images. I also appreciate the occasional winter shot in summer. Winter truly has a lot of beauty.

    1. Winter here is cold but beautiful. I thought one photo of that season of the year would be good to remind us all that beauty is year-round.

    1. This is the time for seeing lots of butterflies. I wish there were more Monarchs but the population seems to have gotten smaller across the USA.

  5. Lovely to see the Red Admiral butterflies ... at least that is what we call them here in the UK.
