Happy wild Wednesday! It's autumn and the tithonias (also known as Mexican sunflowers) are starting to fade but the butterflies don't seem to mind.

I am so happy this pair of monarchs is visiting our
tithonias. We grow
them especially for the butterflies although the
bees and
hummingbirds
like them too. This year we seem to have fewer butterflies than usual so
their sightings are extra special.

Here you can see both monarch butterflies enjoying the tithonias.

I know it's blurry but I like how you can see the overall shape of the monarch butterfly's open wings.

This one's a bit blurry too but I liked the butterfly's curly proboscis and the bee photo bomb made me smile. Usually when I come out with my camera these two monarch butterflies fly away so perhaps they're starting to get used to me and I can get some better photos next time. For now, I hope you enjoyed these butterfly images. Thank you for visiting! May God bless you!
