Here are my photos for today.

The beautiful Monarch butterfly sipping nectar from the Butterfly Weed flowers, (Asclepias tuberosa). This plant is also called Orange Milkweed. It attracts many different butterflies and bees. I know that everyone is familiar with Monarch butterflies so I won't bother you with information about them. I hope this brightens your day, especially for all of us who are dealing with the dull winter.

These photos were taken last summer.

Thanks for stopping by!

All photos are my own.

This beautiful butterfly Gif is brought to you by @brisby! Thank you!
