Monarchs

The Monarchs are still migrating.

I see them as I go about the city.


In my gardens they rest and nectar.



I watch them each day.


They like orange flowers.

Dear Yolanda,
Nice to meet you.
I am glad you enjoyed this photo essay. I love taking pictures of the birds and the bugs and the blooms. When all are at once it is very fun!
I did walk around the neighborhood but it was the Monarchs that I spent most the day with.

Dear Marmee,
We could sip limeaides and chat and you could meet my birds and bugs! It would be very fun.
I really like the picture of the Monarch coming in to land on the mum that is sitting on my potting up table. I had spent about an hour with this Monarch and when I went to go walking it followed me out to the driveway. I turned and saw him coming and snapped this one picture!
Sometimes I am lucky.
Thank you for being part of this Monarch day.

Your photos are beautiful as always! Our monarchs have been gone for a couple of weeks now and I miss them!

It's funny how the critters, even insects, behave like they have little personalities, following us around sometimes and staring back like they want to understand us.

Dear Terry,
Thank you.
I will miss the Monarchs too. I read in my journal last year I was still seeing a few the last of October.
I am seeing some migrating birds. So exciting. A Nashville Warbler was in the back bushes and a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker was in the woods near my house. I had seen it on the front maple the other day, there could be more than one about.
I love seeing the different birds.
I love looking forward tot he return of the butterflies.
Thank you for walking with me.
Namaste,
Sherry

Dear Walk2write,
I think the bugs get to know people. I have read about this. I have also experienced bees and certain butterflies coming to me when I come outside. I think they are curious. I have been eye to eye with lots of bugs and birds...
Thanks for walking near,
Sherry
