Pretty Monarch At The Cemetery

Because of all the butterfly-friendly flowers I’ve added to my garden, I’ve seen more monarchs this summer than I’ve seen in the past ten years. But despite how many have been fluttering around my back yard, not one has sat somewhere long enough for me to snap a photo of it.

But I did get my chance recently, although not in my garden.

Hello butterfly!


These photos were taken during a stroll through the Cataraqui Cemetery.


I couldn’t believe this little critter sat still and let me take a few pictures.


Isn’t it the prettiest little thing?



It might sound a little morbid to some of you (or maybe not), but I enjoy visiting cemeteries. Not sure what the appeal is, but I like walking through them and taking photos. In this case, it really paid off with this gorgeous butterfly.
