Our good friends have a monarch
butterfly about to emerge
she called to see if I wanted to take
some pics and of course I did
its hanging off their
topsy turvy planter
Note the changes in the
following two pictures
the colors in the wings are showing
the emerging seemed to slow down
so we wandered around the yard
I'm still snapping pics of course
I love the ducks on this fountain
and the old wagon wheel topped
with the vintage window box
and as we strolled along ...
she found a new chrysalis
hanging on the garage wall
and the remains of last years
hanging on the house
after an hour of waiting, I headed home
Enjoy the remainder of the summer
the bees sure are!
Tomorrow I will check the progress on the butterfly.

Can't wait to see the buterfly.
Amazing this fact and act of nature. You have inclueded some beautiful flowers. i believe you guys UP THERE appreciate the flowers more because of the short growing season, and you have more. the shot of the bee is very good.
Love from down here. (and going further South soon)

What a lovely garden, the fountain is wonderful. I love the sunflowers. The are so birght and cheery.
These are wonderful!!! You have such a pretty flower garden/yard to enjoy!! I'm sure it must be a lot of work, but I bet it is worth it! The photos prove it is!
that is so neat! have never seen a chrysalis in person.
oh that's so cool. cheers!
Sy just got so excited to see that chrysalis and wanted to know if he could have it~~~lol~~~he loves nature so much. Hope he gets to see the Monarch, which he knew by the wings, before he leaves tomorrow.
Just got back from Twin Lakes where Staci and family are camping, for a birthday celebration for Bailey...what a nice camping afternoon.

When I was doing my student teaching back in the '70's one boy brought in a caterpillar and I've remembered it ever since because I was able to see the wings as your great picture shows. It is so amazing. ♥♫
