    I was deadheading my petunias and along came this beauty. Into the house I dashed to grab my camera and he was waiting for me to take some pictures for quite a long time..if you would ever see my photo albums, you would see that I snap quite a few pictures and just pick what I think is best to show.....

    I do sooo love seeing the butterflies that visit others gardens. :-D I always think of amber stained glass when I see a Monarch butterfly as they are just so lovely.

    Those fotos are so nice to see. That monarch looks good on the Echinacea.

    You got some great pics. Sherry. Morarchs are mostly what we see here. I'm sure there are others, but these are the plenty. Thanks for sharing.
