September 26, 2019 A Monarch Emerges

On this mostly rainy day, a monarch emerged, the one that had made its chrysalis in the ear of the Butterfly Horse sculpture.  As the rain became heavier, I brought him into a safe enclosure, filled with flowers: tithonias, black-eyed susans, and zinnias.IMG_2053

Monarchs are still emerging while others have started their migration.  A butterfly friend, Kathy Kelly, still has two hundred chrysalids.
