Monarch Butterflies migrate in the fall. I have seen two or three over the past several weeks. I wish  could report that we were seeing many of these beauties but that isn't the case. This butterfly needs milkweed to feed on as a caterpillar. It would be a good idea to plant some in your garden to help this striking butterfly.

Wendy Bailey photographed a Monarch, the king of Butterflies, and has kindly allowed me to share it with you here.

To learn about Monarchs, here is a link to a great web site:

At first I thought I was seeing a Monarch Butterfly - I've seen several in recent days. But when I carefully stalked the orange butterfly with my camera, I found it was smaller.  Flitting amongst the small yellow wildflowers flowers in my garden in Anchor Bay, it landed long enough for me to photograph it.  Some loveliness for you today!
