Anyway, I have been having a great time spending moments with the butterflies. There are a few thistle bushes over at the lake and the Swallowtails have been in abundance over there. These were taken on the first day I discovered them this week and the one Monarch that was flying around never landed that day while I was there. Yesterday I went back out and finally the Swallowtails were absent so the one Monarch could land. Those photos I'll post later of the Monarch. Truly beautiful butterfly. Oh and the bees add a wonderful touch. I'm so glad bees don't scare me - They were swirling all around my hair while I was trying to take a photo. I guess they liked the fragrance of my hair products.
Here are a few from the other day with the Swallowtails.
Did you know that Thistle is the national emblem of Scotland! I love to learn new things so I'll past that on to you who read.

Happy Friday, Sandy!
Thanks so much Veronica - ...come back later - there will be lots more - i had a great time with a Monarch the other day in the same area on the same bushes. He came once the swallowtails left.
Very nice colors and design.
Wow lovely butterflies!

thanks Ashok. I've been out every day getting lots more photos. It seems butterflies are more abundant up here this year.
