Migrating Monarchs
Several of them paused on their way down to SW Mexico for a couple of days, feeding at a large butterfly bush in the yard. I spent some time with them in the dappled light. A morning glory vine made itself a happy home in this bush over the summer... thus the flower mixture in this shot :)
2,500 - 3,000 miles they travel between southern Canada/northern US down to the forests of Mexico. Ponder that for such a delicate creature!
