SUMMER HORTICULTURE

Monarch butterfly laying it’s eggs this morning.

7/25/2020

 
I was investigating a new wildflower garden this morning and saw this little lady flitting about. Just in case, I whipped out my phone and got ready. She wasn’t pollinating, she was “casing the joint,” and I knew what she was about to do.

I put my iPhone XR on video, got on my knees, and got ready... she’ll be back. Sure enough, she fluttered her way back towards me and did you-know-what.
How the hell could I have been so fortunate? I’m 61 years old, and have never seen this ever.
It’s not that my personal goal was to ever capture this moment for posterity, yet I felt myself extremely lucky to have had my phone with me when I saw it happen.
