Butterflies




Okay, I am still obsessed with the nature around me. The bermuda grass is still nice and green and will continue as long as we have these warm temperatures and rain. I know...it is not pictured. Actually, it was the butterflies that had me so captivated Saturday morning. I saw so many in the yard, Monarchs, the black one, and several yellow butterlies fluttered about......I don't know...there are so many butterfly species. Late in the afternoon, while traveling down the country road there were half-grown Monarch butterflies numbered by the dozens. We are right in the middle of the fall Monarch migration. Amazing! There are several interesting websites about butterflies........do a search and check them out if this is of interest to you or look at this one: http://www.monarchbutterflyusa.com/Migration.htm
Sorry the shots were not as vibrant as I had hoped they would be. I could have copied several beautiful pictures from the internet, but these were my own....much more fun to capture the beauty outside than sitting in front of a computer.

I do love butterflies. Maybe the boys and I can check them out before they get away.
