While out mowing the lawn the other day I spotted a Monarch in the garden and stopped to snap some photos. I've started to see a few more Monarchs around the homestead, though not the profusion that we usually have in late Summer.
He/she wasn't scared of me one bit and I got within an arms' length, snapping photo after photo. After resettling on the flower (Summer Sun Heliopsis) below, I got this fantastic picture.
Butterflies, and especially Monarchs are one of my favorite summertime creatures to see in the garden. We're going to continue to plant more flowers that they utilize for nectaring or laying eggs. Summer just wouldn't be the same without Monarchs flitting about. What critters do you most enjoy seeing in the garden?
