I caught Jupiter peeking out from behind the moon this morning on my way to my car!

These two helped ease some boredom while waiting on the Monarch yesterday. One of those moments when you are forced to sit still and start to see everything a little more clearly.

This summer has been the summer of butterflies for me already but to get to finish it off by witnessing this, it just could not have been any better. The last picture of the post has been my favorite monarch picture to date. I took it back in mid August. The butterfly in that picture appeared to be in pretty rough shape and laying possibly her last eggs on a Swamp Milkweed plant that was right next to where this monarch emerged. I'm always going to question if that monarch in August was laying the egg to make this queen to start her journey to Mexico.
