The Monarch #butterfly embarks on one of nature's most incredible journeys, migrating up to 3,000 miles from #Canada to central #Mexico. These tiny travelers, with wings of vibrant orange, navigate the vast distances using the sun and Earthโ€™s magnetic fields, defying the odds

I was taking a moment to admire how the sun lit up the steam from my coffee this morning, so I snapped a few pics. I think I caught a fish. Or Gollum.
