Butterflies have a special meaning to me, plus they are simply beautiful.  This page contains some pictures I have taken of these gorgeous little creatures.

 

 

 

One day during the end of summer in 2018, I went to fill up my hummingbird feeder and found this on the underside.  It is a monarch butterfly chrysalis!  Isn’t it beautiful?  If you look closely at the bottom, you can see a bit of the butterfly’s wing.

 

Here is the monarch just after leaving her chrysalis..

  

 

And the empty chrysalis after she flew away…
