Mr. Monarch

at by

I’m feeling a bit under the weather today – allergies, of course – so I’m just going to leave you with these photos of a male Monarch who happened to be exploring the coneflowers while I was outside yesterday.

He is beautiful.

Stay safe.

Happy Thursday.

  3. My husband and I were on an island off the coast of Maine (tiny island) when the Monarch migration came through. It was incredible! We sat on the porch and watched as thousands of these dainty creatures feasted on the wild roses and other flowers before heading on to their next stop. I will never forget it!
    Also, I hope you feel better soon. I think that the whole enchilada of what is happening worldwide as well as the daily dramas that unfold in the USA via guns and hearings seems insurmountable. I have given myself permission to film the hearings and watch only in the daytime. But still I wish I could sit down and weep for the world. Be Well….

  4. Wow.. .great photos. If you don’t mind I am going to attempt a watercolor of one or more of them. I lo.ve, love, love your photos. Do a journal, illustrate it….publish . You have real talent.

    feel better,

  10. Glorious photos!
    Thanks ever so much for sharing these photos of beauty, peacefulness, and calm.
    Wishing you peace, rest, and recovery from your allergies.

  11. Be careful
    New Covid starts like allergies…we have so many in family with it all living different places…waiting for shoe to drop

  12. My July calendar quotes William Shakespeare One touch of nature makes the whole world kin. May it be so Claudia and May you enjoy the blessings of your beautiful garden and allow it to heal your soul and body .

  17. You caught him! A real beauty <3
    Happy Bastille Day!!
    I can’t believe I stayed up and watched the whole thing early this AM (YouTube live). I don’t think I would do it again though unless in person. Also, got to catch Biden and Lapid speak in Israel.

    Hope your allergy remedies give you relief & you’re back tomorrow feeling better. Hugs
    XOXO

  18. Beautiful shot! I saw my first monarch today too but of course no camera nearby. :)
    Feel better soon.
    We need some rain to wash away some of the pollen in the air.
