DoktorDottirThis handsome one spent the day drinking water from a bucket in my garden. The bucket has Leca clay balls, which float, to keep insects from drowning. #macrophotography #butterfly #mourningcloak #sorgmantel #Γ₯land
Sisyphus with a HatThere were lots of Mourning Cloak butterflies flitting hither and tither. The most I've ever seen around here.

Kelson's PhotosI've been spotting monarchs lately, but haven't caught any photos until today!
The first #MonarchButterfly paused up in a tree. I was surprised I could get a clear shot.
The second monarch is injured. I couldn't see that its wing was torn, but I could tell it was hurt by the way it was flapping its wings on the ground, trying and failing to fly. It did eventually take off, but it landed again soon after.
Bonus: a #MourningCloak from farther down the trail.
