Monarch

The temperatures have dropped and we are seeing fewer butterflies. We photographed this Monarch Butterfly on a cool morning and didn't expect to see one. It was about 55°F. I hope we see a few more.

Winging It

This one is a Viceroy. Yes, it is not a monarch. There was a couple of them but this is all I was able to get .. one viceroy on a trash can. 😂

Nectar Hunt

I never get tried of photographing Pearl Crescent butterflies. This time of year they are usually out in large numbers.

Sort-tailed Blue

This is a Short-tailed blue butterfly. The color is super interesting .. a blue butterfly with those small orange markings. They are very small and easy to miss.
