Monarch Migration

This past week we started to notice Monarch butterflies in our backyard. Aaron had planted some milkweed earlier in the spring hoping it would attract butterflies. The milkweed did just that! There were times that we saw up to four butterflies at a time fluttering around the flowers. One afternoon I took my camera outside and sat very still. This is what I saw......

These are such fascinating creatures! I feel like I could spend hours out there in the stillness of nature watching these little guys. I hope they stop by again in the spring on their way back north.
