Summer is alive with sounds of crickets, frogs and birds. I watched a Monarch butterfly flitting so quickly in front of me hither and yon between flowers and plants. It seemed to dance in tune to the sounds of nature.
Monarch butterfly on among the thistles
I took this photo as the butterfly stopped on a thistle. The butterflies bold markings stood out against the green and purple thistles.
It’s such a simple pleasure to watch a butterfly dance on a warm summer day. I see why to so many people it symbolizes freedom.
Beautiful butterfly and thistles
in a hazy summer woods 🙂
Lovely. Is the butterfly a Painted Lady?
I’m not sure, but love the name Painted Lady. 🙂
