Word(ful) Wednesday! Butterflies are free to fly….
filed in Memes, Nature stuff on Aug.26, 2009
It never ceases to amaze me how beautiful nature truly is. The other day I walked right up to one of our butterfly bushes and there were 9 of these beautiful Monarchs on them!
They would all fly off, circle above me and land back on the blooms.

Did you know Monarchs migrate 2500 miles to Mexico in the Fall and back in the Spring?

These photos are absolutely gorgeous. I had no idea there was such a thing as butterfly bushes.

The butterflies and the bushes are beautiful! My in-laws have milkweed growing all around their pond and they are always full of caterpillars and monarchs. I too think that the monarch migration is amazing. How in the heck do they travel that far with those delicate little wings???

I love monarch butterflies. Don’t see many of them around my house, so it is a rare treat. So wonderful that you get to enjoy so many of them. The pictures are beautiful, thank you for sharing. Happy WW!

Those are all beautiful pictures. I don’t see too many monarch butterflies around here. Thanks for sharing!

You have wonderful photos there. My word, I can’t capture a butterfly to save my life. Not that I couldn’t take the pictures, but I just haven’t seen any this season. That’s city life for you.
Happy WW!!!

How beautiful! We went up to a butterfly conservatory at Niagra Falls. It was so fun seeing all those butterflies up close!

Oh wow! That IS weird. What a coincidence that we posted nearly the exact same thing. I love that you have a link to more info. I meant to do that too, but was tired and lazy. I couldn’t get your link to work though??
Happy WW!

We have the Buddleia but we’re a bit lighter on the butterfly count.

And did you know butterflies are more colorful in cooler climates? Yep! I learned that a couple days ago in Maine, bit of trivia on a local Coffee newsletter.
And the strains of Elton John now ring in my ears…

Gorgeous!! My mother had butterfly bushes at her old house and they were amazing for bringing the butterflies over, though they grew out of control!!

I love butterflies. Probably why my daughter’s room is covered in them.
My mom has a butterfly bush and it’s just like yours, they’re always all over it. It’s amazing!
