Two years ago, we had a freeze on Halloween. Frost Flowers emerged (Crystallofolia phenomenon). This year our first freeze is likely tomorrow night.

Happy Halloween. 📷🌱❄️

Yes. October into early November is our Monarch season in the mid-South.

Happy Halloween from the Monarch 🧡🖤

Still seeing at least nine butterfly species in our garden and on our acreage today. Two Monarchs were about, including this stunner on an orange Zinnia, quite appropriate for Halloween.

I like them too. That kettle has been in our family for a long long time. It was at least my Great Grandmother’s.

This was my last Swallowtail photo of the year. Female Black Swallowtail on October 16th. I just hadn’t gotten around to posting. Appropriate posting for #InsectThursday

Good question. It was purely the afternoon lighting in the flowerbed and our upper meadow through some trees. Partly cloudy, dappled light.

Here are the image details.

What another great season of Slow Horses. Damn, no one can act like Gary Oldman. In my opinion, the greatest character actor of a generation, if not all time.

Because you need some beauty tonight.

We continue to have a steady migration of Monarchs. I imagine more next week with the cooler weather up north.
