Hold On to Your Umbrella, Froggie!

The tropical storm, Hermine, is on it's way north along the coast. It's a beautiful day today, although a little breezy.  I looked out the window and saw what I think may have been a monarch today.

These are blurry because I had to shoot 

through the screen and a story too high!

On the right side, I see orange and distinct

white spots and black bands!

When I got outside and downstairs,

this is all I could find on the butterfly bush.

They are in the middle bottom of the upper set of photos.

These are Great Spangled Fritillaries.

In the sunshine, their silver spangles are really obvious.

Depending on the weather tomorrow, Froggie, (our rain gauge) could be full

and blooms could be all over the place.

The last true hurricane uprooted the whole butterfly bush.

It's just recovering from that storm with upright branches and increased height!

I hope that Monarch shows up again!
