Magnificent animals, beautiful pics, Casey! The closest I have come to getting a picture of a Monarch butterfly this year. I have had perhaps only a half dozen sightings of one fliting about in the last 2 months or so. This one refused my pleas to show itself better for a pic. Sure hope it has a safe journey to Mexico.

Yes, Raven, sure are. The one at the window, I cut apart, and put a dowel rod in... to make it longer. :)
