Monarch butterfly waystation

I revisited a nature center recently and I was surprised to find out that they have added a Monarch butterfly waystation. I lingered at the site a bit and waited to see if an impressive number of butterflies will show up. A few did and I tried to catch them with my point and shoot camera. Maybe the word will get around to the Monarch butterflies that there is a new place for them to hang out and the next time I visit the place there will be a swarm of them around LOL.


This sign attracted my attention

Eyeing a cozy landing spot

The Monarch has landed!

This is not a Monarch but I took a picture of the bug just for the heck of it LOL

butterflies have always been a marvel to look at. That is without mentioning the stages it has to go through in order to be what it is.

Nice photos, indeed.

rolly,I never could get enough of them ever since I was a kid.

tutubi, when they created this waystation that is what they have in mind. I hope I'll have a chance to visit the place in Mexico where they hybernate during winter.

senor enrique, they are a living, breathing beauty indeed.

dailyphotographer, thanks!
