IMG_1345 The beauty is back

Home

While walking the dog with my son,
I saw my monarch is back again.
My son said yesterday, the monarch is late flying back to Mexico.

Here is he/she with wings out.
I can not tell if it is male or female based on this site

Super series of Monarch shots. All summer I have been rejoicing when I see one because we have so few up here this year after their disastrous winter in Mexico. But it seems that those that did fly up this way had good breeding success so hopefully we'll see more next summer. VVV
