This past Monday I was doing yard work when I saw a Monarch flying across our yard. It was the first one I have seen this summer. I wanted a photo badly, but I was not able to get one .. I mean, I was cutting the grass and did not have my camera.
That excited me. I have been watching for the return of the Monarchs for a while, and this was a welcome sighting. We started going to our favorite sites to see them and on Wednesday I capture this photo. I have seen a couple, but this was the first photo of one this year. I am so, so excited.
I have been concerned about the status of the Monarch butterfly since I read this tweet in March:
It appear to be a real issue. Read more about the monarch butterfly defender and his death here.
