I saw several monarch butterflies at the botanic gardens up in the hills yesterday, but no more than about three at a time. Numbers have dropped drastically over the last few years.

Some butterflies spotted over the last few days
Some #butterflies spotted over the last few days:
A monarch that nicely paused on the grass with its wings open, long enough to catch a clear photo.
A swallowtail that I sort of caught in flight, at a distance. It’s very low-resolution, but it’s also clearly identifiable!
A cabbage white that I was able to catch with a zoom lens.

A monarch butterfly in flight
A #monarch butterfly in flight. I’ve been seeing one or two each time I go for a walk in the neighborhood, but mostly they’re flying around too much for me to get a decent photo. This one decided to stick around this one bush for a while.

About a week later…
Someone on Flickr invited this photo to a UFO/paranormal/unexplained phenomena group. 😕
Maybe they meant to invite it to something else they manage?
Or are there butterfly UFO stories out there that I’m missing?
Spotted a Monarch butterfly today, and it actually landed and held still long enough for me to get a clear photo.

I found this monarch flitting from bush to bush along the street.
I haven’t seen many #butterflies at all since winter hit, and figured the #monarch migration had long since passed further south, but I found this one flitting from bush to bush along the street.

At least two, possibly three monarchs flying around a parking lot. They settled on this tree long enough for me to catch a couple of photos.
Monarch (in the sky)
Saw this lone monarch flying around above the sidewalk next to a busy street. Took my phone out on the off chance I might be able catch it in frame and maybe be able to tell it was orange in the picture. Had no idea I’d actually be able to see the pattern on the wings once I’d zoomed in on it!

A few weeks ago I saw a lot of monarchs. Today I saw a lot of these.

Two of many monarch butterflies I saw today on a walk at nearby botanical gardens. Most of them were too busy flying around to stop anywhere I could catch them on camera, but there were a few that paused long enough.

While I was watering the plants this morning, a monarch butterfly flew right past my face, then on down the sidewalk, casually dodging (or checking out?) trees, and then went on its way.
