For the past several
weeks, I have been witnessing the annual Monarch Migration one butterfly at a
time.
On my daily walks, I would
observe a beautiful Monarch flying past me.
Five minutes later, another solitary Monarch would fly over. Another five minutes, another. This occurrence would be repeated regularly day
after day.
These butterflies
would not land. They would just continue
fluttering by until…
One day, one of these
magnificent Lepidoptera finally lighted upon a sporadic thistle plant and I was
lucky enough to be able to observe this colorful creature for several minutes…almost
an eternity as watching butterflies goes.
This particular
butterfly did not seem to be in as much a hurry as all the others proceeding.
I was thankful that
this Monarch had a bit of sense to ‘smell the roses’, Canadian thistle in this
case.
And, I had that same
sense, too!
