I have some visitors at my house today. (Pretty picture inside)

These are migrating Monarch butterflies who have taken a liking to my Greg's Blue Mist. :D

[Texasgal]

3. How pretty!!!

Do I spy some leaves there David? You need to get your rake out!!! :P

[GOPisEvil]

5. Pfffttt....

[Texasgal]

8. Looks like you need to

sharpen up the ol' mulch blade then!!! :P

[GOPisEvil]

11. Ehhh...I'll go out and sweep up what I can later.

Stupid wind isn't blowing them like I want.

[Texasgal]

12. Well..

When the wind dies down and you get the mulcher out....C'mon out to my house.... I have some leaves too! :P

[MadHound]

4. So that's where they all went to!

They were up here in Mid Mo just a couple of weeks ago. Beautiful creatures, I always look forward to their passing through.

[GOPisEvil]

6. Yep - they're headed down to Mexico and Central America.

They come through every year around this time.

[MadHound]

10. Yeah, it simply amazes me that these little creatures

Basically nothing more than a scrap of animated paper can make such a long journey twice a year.

[Midlodemocrat]

13. Gorgeous.

I wish I could get them to be attracted to my butterfly bush.

[JanMichael]

14. Greg's Blue Mist?

Is that some kind of liquor? Are they waiting to come inside to get a drink before heading out?

15. Ooooo how fortunate to have caught them on film....`

...beautiful picture David!!
