How amazing, Monarch butterflies taking time to rest in your trees on their journey south.<br /><br />We do see geese flying overhead but I am not sure they're migrating, just flying en masse to the local golf course or our neighbors' pastures.Our climate is usually fairly moderate all times of the year and seems to appeal as a place to winter-over. Even birds who are supposed to migrate hang around longer than they should. All except the hummingbirds. They are gone.KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-16609963604625010672011-09-28T11:53:26.337-07:002011-09-28T11:53:26.337-07:00Wow, what a sight to see the Monarch butteflies. ...Wow, what a sight to see the Monarch butteflies. I'm sure that is so beautiful. I love butterflies. Your zinnia in the embroidery was lovely, too. <br />We are having geese honking, and flying in V-shape over the Blue Ridge Mountains. They are getting ready to head South for the winter. Fall is marching into this area. The leaves are changing and it's real pretty here.Brenda Kay Ledfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03077314514118637590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-32902919591257971662011-09-28T10:56:12.959-07:002011-09-28T10:56:12.959-07:00We have los of butterflies, different moths and bu...We have los of butterflies, different moths and bugs that feed on some wild plants by the creek. We try not to weedeat those plants so the insects can enjoy them. We have tons of goldfinches, titmouse and nuthatches. They drink the little water that is left in the creek. Good to hear from you.<br />Judypapel1https://www.blogger.com/profile/17857244375483965314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-54098447823953415062011-09-27T21:27:13.371-07:002011-09-27T21:27:13.371-07:00I love your butterfly photos, it sure pictuers the...I love your butterfly photos, it sure pictuers their beauty. <br /><br />Bees have been coming by the droves and not in a good way. In the walls and chewing up my porch. So all the lantana had to go. 40 carpenter bees were on the plant this AM and many holes in my porch. I love the butterflies that came but the plant had go. Think I will rethink planting flowers next year and to veggies again. <br /><br />Hope you enjoy the butterflies. Take lots of pictures for us. <br /><br />Did you digitize the zinnia??

I think they go on a more westerly path.<br /><br />All I'm having around here are stinkbugs and gophers! haha! We haven't seen any geese yet, but a bit later, we'll be able to hear them way up high at night when it's still outside...
