I was so excited as I had never seen a Monarch in the time since I have lived here in the mountains. I had only ever seen them at Lake Arrowhead and that was closer to autumn.
I happened to plant this particular "blood" plant (can't remember the official name just the nickname) and was sitting outside yesterday when this butterfly came by. It stayed around the plant for quite a while. I took a lot of photos but will just post a few. I kind of like the ones where it was flying. The last photo I believe is a Cloudless Sulphur butterfly.
So how's your summer going? Any fun things or out of the ordinary things you have seen - ... weather okay in your area?

I just realized the plant looks a lot like the one in my banner. I had taken those photos about 15 years ago down a bridle trail at my old house.
Wow, the camera really captured them in flight, very clearly! I love these colorful photos.
thanks - i was excited to see that Monarch
