Visit with grandson to Edinburgh Tattoo last night. The lighting was challenging for my iPhone 12P, but I've more to post if there is interest. I could also provide a link to a short 4 minute vid I've stored on Google Drive. This was the preview show so a few too many photographers on the Esplanade in some of the other shots
Great Blue Heron in the Galapagos Islands.
Up or down?

Ha! Good catch. I took this last year. I think I may have mis-dated another photo I posted yesterday.You sure you want to post this? According to your date, this won't happen for another 3 or 4 months.
I miss the Monarch butterflies. We had a lot of them in upstate NY growing up, along with the Milkweed they eat and spin their cocoons on. Unfortunately, we have neither here in central NC.

My wife raises Monarchs to try and increase their population. She raised and released about 20 this year.
Several had trouble flying and had to be euthanize them. We aren't sure if they had parasites or were deformed by the spraying that people do to keep spiders and other insects away from their houses/yards.
It is fun to collect them off the milkweed, feed the caterpillars, watch them ascend to the top of their cloth cage, form chrysalises, emerge and hang upside down to dry their wings and have us release them.
A surviving female monarch can lay between 400-700 eggs during their lifetime. so we are hoping that my wife's efforts can help increase the monarch population in the future.

I do not have Milkweed planted. Like Lilacs, I have not seen milkweed nor Monarch butterflies since moving to NC 22 years ago. We have a lot of Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterflies though.
