It’s a bit early…a lot early, actually, to see monarchs around here, but this this is not a figment of my imagination. Seen flitting on my lilac yesterday – it was very windy and I was a ways away so not the best shots…

Wow, Chris….a very early Monarch…by a good month! Have you reported to Journey North.com? You can include the photo.
I’ll look that up!

Done!
Nice! Yes, I have seen a few over the last month, much earlier than usual. I think it’s because of the hot and dry weather we had during those first couple of weeks.
Photos like this don’t have to be perfect. It’s enough that they prove ‘whatever’ in nature, and provide a little — or a lot — of delight! Happy returning butterflies!
😊😊😊
That is wonderful news. We haven’t seen any special butterflies here yet but I know that feeling when you see the first one!
Wow, VERY early! Must have had a good tail wind! 😉
