I have taken so many photos ofmonarch butterflies recently. Maybe I should just share them in a single post .. they are so beautiful. We should not see many more. It's time for them to depart and heat south.

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.

Finally …
We saw our first Monarch Butterfly of the season this week. I didn't expect to see three, and maybe even four on the same day. This is very late in the season to see them. Its odd but we have not seen many of viceroy butterflies either.

No Way
Well its the second week of October and temperatures are much lower .. but we are still seeing butterflies. We saw this Monarch Butterfly on October 10. That is nuts. It was sunny but temp was around 50°F. Amazing.
Others have told me on Facebook that they are seeeing them too .. I know this will come to an end, but it is sure fun for now.

Monarch ❤️
We are still seeing a few butterflies, even on the colder mornings. This Monarch was sure enjoying the wild flowers.
