This monarch butterfly landed on my hibiscus plant on the deck. I think it did a pretty nice job of posing for me.

Why
I love photos! I love taking photos! So this blog will be mostly photos (and an occasional video clip) I've taken, and though they will speak thousands of words by themselves, I'll usually be adding my 2¢-worth, too. ;)
About Me
- Grandma G
- Down on the Farm, Minnesota, United States
- I am married, a mother of two, and a grandmother of one teenager who’s growing up too fast! I am retired from the work force and am enjoying being "just" a homemaker. I love to sew, and I guess you could call me a "bag lady". :)
Want to email Grandma G?

Very nice pics. It looks like you have your very own Butterfly garden. Grace
Wow.. they are beautiful. I can't remember the last time I saw a monarch.. or any butterfly for that matter. I better start paying more attention... huh?
Thanks to you both. Kim, I'll bet your eyes have been constantly busy watching 2 other little subjects... no wonder you don't notice butterflies! :-)
that's a good point :)
