The Monarch Butterflies Are Back

I added two Monarch Butterfly images to my Macro Gallery that I captured in our back yard today. I caught him on the flowers of our Carolina Jasmine hedge. This is a good sign, having them show up this early in the season. That tells me we will have a great display of these beautiful creatures in southern California this year. Monarch butterflies are the most beautiful of all butterflies, some say, and are considered the king of the butterflies, hence the name monarch. They migrate north and east into the USA from Central Mexico to find a place to lay their eggs. This starts stage one and generation one of the new years for the monarch butterfly. Please feel free to visit my Macro Photo gallery at http://www.focustoframe.com/gallery/macro-photography/ to see more pictures of various other butterflies.
