Beautiful shots from last summer. I have read about the Monarch Butterflies, and it's amazing that they fly such a long distance. Beautiful photo of them.
ReplyDeleteIt truly is interesting. Those that are returning from Canada are the fourth generation since leaving Mexico. They have never been there yet find the way back to Michoacan Mexico. Some years here there are thousands in the gardens, other years only hundreds. The Monarch is interesting indeed. Glad you were able to visit.
DeleteWonderful flowers
ReplyDeleteThere are so many varieties here, Love them all!!!
DeleteVery very interesting photos! Are there 17 Monarch butterflies or more? Never seen so many at the same time.
ReplyDeleteSome years there re thousands resting on their travels to Mexico. Amazing. Here along the lake scattered in the trees for miles - so many as they rest.
DeleteUna belleza de imágenes. Bien hecho.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
Thanks for your comment. I always feel good getting such positive comments from you since you are very good at photography
DeletePreciosos recuerdos de verano. Las mariposas monarcas son muy bonitas. Besos.
ReplyDeleteIt is true. Good summer memories - and the Monarchs are a unique butterfly so I do appreciate that they stop here on their way to Mexico so I can enjoy them.
DeleteBeautiful
ReplyDeleteThat is true!
DeleteWonderful--everything! And, wow, you get a lot of monarchs. Do you report them to Journey North or Wisconsinbutterflies.org?
ReplyDeleteNot every year that many here , but every year there are at least a few hundred. And I am not the only one along the lake that is a resting place for them as they go down to Mexico. I will admit that I have never reported them to any organization - FEAR that too many people will start showing up and that is not what I care to happen. You certainly are welcome to come when they are here. I invite people I know so I can limit the visitors - better for Me and the Monarchs!
DeleteJack,
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
I wish you all the best, health and a lot of joy on this day.
May the new year 2024 be successful for you.
Nadezda, Thanks for the best wishes and I wish the same for you. Hard to believe another year has passed and a new one to begin in a few days.
DeleteSuch beautiful photos are kicking our unseasonal weather up a notch.
