You are so magical! This one deserves a place in a frame and on a wall(preferably my wall!)

Have a beautiful week.

Love, Vikki.

That's a great pose - I think the Monarchs are well and gone from here. Only a few lazy (or not so lazy) bees hanging on. Next week they will all be gone.

Wonderful photo!!
I am amazed at the Monarch butterflies everywhere. In New Zealand they needed Swanplant to survive, & were condidered quite rare!

Dear Chris,
I still am seeing newly emerged ones like this one.
I watch them basking in the mornings. It is cool around here 48-49 degrees at 8am. As the sun comes up over the neighbor's trees I watch as the Monarchs begin to feed. Aways so lovely against the blue morning sky.
No frost here yet. I see the bees in the afternoons.
I know I will miss all the bugs come frost.

Dear Mary,
This darling was followering me! I had been watching him feed and as I walked towards the driveway to go walking around the neighborhood, he came with.
LOL
I love the bugs and I think they do get to know me. I know the bees do.
I hope the butterflies know me as friend.
Hugs,
Sherry

Dear Marmee,
I posted this picture on Walking In Beauty too. I know many Corner visiters do not come walking and I wanted to share this Monarch.
Thanks for walking with.

Dear Meggie,
I had read there were Monarchs in New Zealand! Swanplant sounds lovely...I love that.
I also have been reading about all the fantastic birds in your country. I would love to come and visit and do many walk abouts. I think I would need 6 months at least...my main goal would be see you, of course, and the Fairy Penguins also known as Blue Penguins.
Oh my, they are darling.

Lisa at Greenbow said...

What a capture! I might have to try to paint this one. If you don't mind of course.

Q said...

Dear Cheryl,
The Monarchs are still active in my gardens. I will miss them.
I really do like this picture. I might have to print it out.
Hugs,
Sherry

Dear Lisa,
I would be honored! I so love your paintings.
I shall be checking your Artsy Endeavors!
Thanks again for the Tennessee Warbler id. A very cute bird.

This is so beautiful, Sherry! I traipsed after a Monarch today and finally managed to get one photo from a distance. They seem to be constantly floating about--I don't know how you captured this fantastic picture!

Q said...

Dear Rose,
I know what you mean! I was lucky to have turned at just the right moment! I find the Monarchs are slow in the mornings!
Getting a picture is always exciting.
Happy Monarchs,
Sherry
