He's enjoying the nectar from my scarlet runner flowers.
I’m super happy to see you again on this blog! There are no wild Monarchs in my country but only a few in the southern islands that happened to come on typhoon or seasonal wind.
Sublime.

DeleteGlorious creature. I have never seen one here though people do see them.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this is spectacular. You captured beauty!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love your comment on my blog about the weeds being "misplaced wild flowers" Perfect assessment for me..Sue
DeleteWhat a lovely picture. I'm saving it to a special folder
