It was such a treat to see the Monarch butterflies flitting about looking for food at Fort Hill. I only saw a couple of them this week but was able to get a pretty decent photograph.
The Milkweed seeds are dangling from their pods as they wait for the wind to disperse them into the air. I loved this photograph as the seeds are hanging on by a thread. (Click on blog link to see other photo.)
You can still see a full pod as well as the one that has opened on this Milkweed plant. These plants are so important for the Monarch butterflies as it is the sole host plant for Monarch butterfly caterpillars.
I haven’t seen very many butterflies this summer, so it was a treat to see this pretty little Pearl Crescent butterfly flit from flower to flower in my yard. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
Beautiful little butterfly, don’t you think? Have you seen many butterflies this summer?
I was taking a photograph of this pretty, yellow Cinquefoil wildflower when this Cabbage White butterfly landed on top. I only got one photo and this is it!
