Monarchs over the highway, October 2018

While Gary and I were traveling to a gig last month, I was absolutely startled and amazed by the Monarch Butterflies who traveled just above the highway, crossing over it, on their migration route. The highway did not stop them, did not deter them. They were flying solo, or in groups of two or three.

The other day, a Monarch was resting on one of my little pine trees. She gently fluttered her wings, then laid them open, then appeared to have slept. I live in the city, so I was very happy to have had my yard used as a migration rest-stop and sanctuary : )
