Monarch Sunday



























Saw a butterfly this morning - then another, and another, and another...  Lost count after 200.  Quite a few decided to hang out down in the swamp today.  Plenty of water and flowers for them.  79,89,54,0,B(utterflys)

    I have been lucky enough to see their migration, also. Very impressive. There were thousands landing in trees to spend the night. Tall tree motel. . .

    I am very glad to hear there is something for them where you are. There is very little here in central Texas. I have seen only one, and I hope the rest of them are finding a better road south.

    Beautiful word in any language: Marisosa, Papillon, Butterfly.

    We happened to see a migration of them down near Lake Amistad where the huge bridge is located just beyond there. They were coming up thru that canyon...I think it's the Devils River. Awesome sight I'll never forget..

    That "swamp" is look'in pretty sad. I think ya got more of a puddle than anything else. Hopefully them government employees will be able to get it fixed up for ya. Either that or your gonna have to git some hogs.

    PS
    Hide the still when them government people come out or else they will report it to the Revenuers and they will come and bust it up.

    I guess you are on their flyway for their annual migration south into Mexico. They are a lovely, inspirational sight, so fragile, and yet mighty in numbers and determination.
