    Sherry, wonderful photos! We won't get Monarchs for a week or two--we are on the migration route and get lots on our milkweeds. Until then, I'll just have to enjoy your pictures!

    Your photographs are really lovely Sherry. We haven't had many butterflies here at all this year so it's a pleasure to look at yours.

    I enjyed your fotos this time enormously. I am alwaays so amazed at the variety that come to your garden. They seem so tame; its like the butterflies are posing for you. Have you trained them, Sherry? hahaha.
    Perhaps it's just a credit to your photographing skills, eh? ;)

    Very nice photos Sherry. I love to see the butterflies fluttering around the garden. I will miss them as the weather turns cooler.
