I had a visitor at the Butterfly Bush

I've had Monarchs flying around all Summer but they have never landed long enough for me to get a photo. Until today, that is.

He was on my mind, this morning. He left us all, one week ago today. I gave his sisters some extra snuggles, this morning.

Butterflies this summer, haven't seen any Monarchs. I haven't even seen many Swallowtails and those are usually pretty common around here.
