I was getting some more mums today at one of my favorite garden spots. Their grounds are more like a park than a retail facility. There were literally hundreds of butterflies there today - it's always a good spot for Monarch, Skippers and Cabbage Whites. But today there were painted ladies everywhere - I took far too many shots but couldn't stop myself. I suspect they were migrating down to Mexico already but stopped to enjoy some lunch on the celosia.

A beauty Kathy. I can see why you stopped.
Migration is underway.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

You got a good shot of the butterfly here. Probably coming together before the final take off. How such little creatures can fly such a long distance is really one of the wonders of nature.

Kathy, I agree with Raj's comment about being one of the miracles of Mother Nature.
Perfect shot of this Painted Lady preparing itself for these very long journey!
