Once we past what we think we can't do
What we actually can do can be amazing

Just when I thought I might be done photographying for the day, a gorgeous male Monarch fluttered past our kitchen windows in the backyard garden. (Yes, photographying isn’t a word but I like it 😏) 🖤🧡🤍

Can you spot the monarch?
#monarch #butterfly

A monarch butterfly clings to a cluster of purple butterfly bush flowers, sipping nectar. Its wings are a mix of orange and black, with white dots. The butterfly’s antennae curve gently forward against a background of yellows and greens.

Not a Monarch Butterfly, but with all the discrimination happening in the world, I wanted to welcome all butterflies here. The Zebra Swallowtail is definitely stunning! #Stunday

EGGSCELLENT: New photos of a female monarch #butterfly that fluttered along a sand road, sipped nectar from common milkweed flowers, and laid eggs on the underside of the plants’ leaves. Do you see the small white egg in the third photo? 🦋

🌱 Happy #InsectThursday lovely gardeners of BlueSky!

Let’s make sure these little monarch caterpillars can find food. Please plant milkweed in your garden. #InsectThursday

I was trying to get a photo but it kept flying away. So here’s a real reenactment that captures the experience. 🤓

Legislation Aims To Protect Monarch Butterflies National Pollinator Week wrapped up Sunday, but before it did a pair of West Coast lawmakers introduced legislation aimed at saving one of the most iconic pollinators in the United States

Monarch butterfly populations have plummeted by 99% since the 1980s. I reintroduced the MONARCH Act to restore habitat, support science-based conservation, and protect the pollinators that sustain our environment and agriculture.
