Every year the Monarchs flit around my yard. I always have plenty of Milk Weed plants and two Butterfly Bushes, along with lots and lots of other flowers. I recently saw a Hummingbird at that same bush.

I was heading out to mow when I saw the Monarch land. I've been trying to photograph one, all Summer!
