It's That Time Of Year


It is the time of year when the Monarch butterflies are heading off to their winter hideaway in Mexico. They seem to be fluttering by more and more each day even on the really windy days. Such a long trip for a delicate creature.

Taking part in Saturday's Critters. Click HERE to see more creatures from around the world.

Always glad to see Monarch Butterflies, but we have seen fewer of them over the past few years.

It is mind boggling that they can fly all that way with those thin and delicate wings. One of nature's great mysteries.

Hard to get these little beggars to sit still. Good shot. :-)

I always thought I'd visit the Monarchs' winter home when we lived in Mexico but we almost always went to the beach instead.

Beautiful, and something that I usually have more of around here, but it seems perhaps not sure yet but maybe our peacock has been catching a few? Something I'm going to watch for. Enjoy your weekend!
