Migration

I'm okay with fall, don't love it in the general sense because fall is the preamble to the "hated season"--winter (boo!). I love hot, summer weather. Spring is my favorite season. But that's not what this is about. There are a few things I like about fall and one of them is the monarch butterflies that make their way through Oklahoma on the way to Mexico.

Last week I was one the escorts for Patrick's class one of our local nurseries and, wow, I think the butterflies were taking their morning break while we were there. They were everywhere and were just hanging out on the flowers. So beautiful.

This pic is straight of the camera--no editing, so you can see how pretty the colors are--naturally. The colors were even a little more vivid than depicted in this photo.

Get out into nature!

Very nice pic. The whole monarch butterfly thing is pretty amazing when you consider that none of the butterflies who start actually make finish it.
