W^2 – monarch

a monarch stops for a nibble a long the lake. Grayling, MI, Saturday July 26, 2025 6:39 PM EDT

My wife replanted the garden along the path from the driveway to the cottage this summer and the butterfly bushes are already receiving visitors. Spotted this monarch enjoy a nibble this past Saturday evening.

My late mother-in-law loved monarchs. Every time I see one, I think of her and think she’s visiting and checking on us.

Today is going to be a great day, especially when there is someone watching over me. Today could be a million and six times better than yesterday, but I am going to take it as it comes. Making the Days Count, one day at a time, looking around and paying attention to nature’s beauty – sometimes it’s a sign.

What’s a ‘sign’ or symbol for you?

    1. Yes, thank you. I saw the Monarch and pulled my phone out and she took off. I waited patiently while she flittered around before landing and batting her wings open and closed. it too several shots to get the one I used.

    1. Thank you – right place and right time, the secret to life well lived. I told my wife and she was excited. I checked with our daughter yesterday and she said she’d see butterflies in the garden, too. Can’t to see what’s inshore when I get back.
