Hooray! Our first Monarch Butterfly photo this year! Thanks to Jeewa. Although a few have been spotted at the garden, none have been willing to be photographed. This year has been very slow for Monarchs, with a few reported here and there. This past winter was tremendously challenging for them and many were killed by winter storms including severe hail (you can imagine what huge hail stones will do to a butterfly). Thus, it is miraculous to see even one.
