I love your photographs. As part of my ongoing series about how many monarch butterflies I see I try to make a picture to add to the post each day. I learned a little trick from my daughter and sometimes I make a video of a monarch butterfly in the flight and then capture still photographs from that.

  I don’t see that many monarchs here, but do see a lot of passion vine butterflies. What ever I see, I consider it a gift. Good luck with your project.
