On August 27th,
perhaps the last day we had sunshine,
I had several monarch butterflies fluttering around my gardens.
The monarch butterfly is perhaps one of the most recognized butterflies.
Summer adults live only a few weeks.
Think about that time frame when you see a monarch...
how wonderful they decided to visit you during the few weeks they were alive.
Butterflies...the flowers of the air!

What glorious beauty, my friend. And the colors are just bursting with vibrancy! Have a wonderful day!
Hugs to you!
Beautiful pictures, so delicate.
Oh, so beautiful, Debbie. I think you're the new butterfly whisperer, and that's a huge compliment.
I had no idea they lived such a short life, though. :(

Hello Debbie!
Your photos are wonderful and the butterflies are phenomenal.
Greetings from far away Poland.

Eine Schönheit dieser Schmetterling.

Monarchs appear to have had a very good year this year. They have been migrating through here in the thousands over the past week or so.
Butterflies are magic: they bring just grace... they don't hurt, or sting, or disturb...
They are forever a mystery and gift of nature, brightening our days.
Butterflies all decked out in the colors of Fall! How beautiful! Hugs!
Gorgeous. I love the thought too, Debbie!
Amazing pics!Hugs!
I just never tire of seeing those beautiful butterflies. Around here we will have to wait for next summer now.
I bever knew they lived for such a SHORT TIME!! They are so pretty arent they? Any fun plans for the weekend?
Oh Debbie, these photos are just so lovely. I didn’t know they had such a short life span. No wonderu you enjoy your moments with them. I think their story really is remarkable.
Blessings and hugs for you and your tender care of this beautiful gift from a lovely Heavenly Father!
butterflies are such a rare beauty....these photos are lovely <3

They are hard to capture too, usually they are non stop moving, you always do a wonderful job in getting great pics of them!! Just Beautiful!
Love that last quote!
Debbie - glorious shots! A few years ago, I did a presentation at work about Monarchs as a way of demonstrating several principles - teamwork, perseverance, the power of transformation, etc. Most people did not really appreciate the lifecycle of this marvelous creature!
