The monarch butterfly pavilion is now open at the Desert Botanical Garden so I made a visit over the weekend to see how they were doing.
It was a toasty warm day so they were happily flying to and fro within the pavilion. They seemed to be enjoying the plants and flowers around them.
For the first time, they were sharing the pavilion with some other butterflies. I'll show you a couple of their 'house-mates' tomorrow.

They are beautiful butterflys
Beautiful photos, Sharon !
Photographed beautifully, Sharon. What a treat to see them flying freely around the pavilion.
Beautiful!
I wonder, in the course of a day, how many photos are taken of these beautiful creatures! That would be a fun place to visit, and I appreciate your wonderful photos!
Wonderful photos Sharon! They are so pretty.
They certainly are pretty.
I've seen more of them this fall than for a few years so hopefully that is a good sign. There is a real push here to have people plant Milkweed for them so that may be helping!
wow wow wow!!! Stellar shots!!!
Beautiful!
