The First of Many? | Show Me Nature Photography

[ad_1]

Today’s post features some images I captured yesterday morning while working the butterfly garden at my church in the Missouri Ozarks.

This was the first Monarch that I have seen for a month or so. I’m hoping this is a sign that more will be moving through the area, as their late summer/early fall migration begins!
