Sorry about the quality of the video. I took it in the evening with the sun behind the shot and through the living room window. But I like it anyway and I hope you do, too.

This, that and the other thing 
It is lovely!
I love seeing the butterflies. 🦋

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕💕It’s beautiful! I hope it makes it..
Having the butterfly bush there is wonderful. It also attracts bees, hummingbirds, hummingbird puts, and other critters.

They are so pretty and so much fun to watch.
I agree, Dan.
Be still my beating heart. That monarch looks happy, which is how I feel watching it. Thanks.
My pleasure, Sally. I feel the same way. 🙂
A Monarch! They’re gorgeous. I need more butterfly-attracting flowers!
I was so happy to find we had this butterfly bush. I’d never even heard of one before. I also let some milkweed grow to attract butterflies. I do love seeing them!

I had Lantana in San Jose which is a lot like Milkweed, but never got Monarchs. Just Frittillary’s and Skippers. Here in NV I’ve noticed in my neighborhood more Swallowtails so I need to figure out what bush/flower is attracting those too. I don’t think it’s my Day Lily’s or Daisy’s.
I love seeing them too along with bees. It means we’re doing something right! 😀
Fabulous!
Thanks very much, Resa. You could make a butterfly gown. 🙂
I may do that one day.
Next up is a Tango Art Gown! xx
Ooo, that sounds great. When we move to Arizona, perhaps you’ll have to come visit and get some desert inspiration. 🙂
Oooo, Arizona! I might (with my hubby, take you up on that!)
Please do. We’d love to have you. We’re moving early next year so stay tuned.
I loved it! I find watching a Monarch do about anything is fascinating, and this was definitely an up close and personal view. Perfect!!
Glad you enjoyed it, Judy. I get such joy from watching these guys as well as the occasional hummingbird, bees, or hummingbird moths that the bush attracts.
What’s not to like about watching a butterfly? 🙂
Very true!
That’s not just a thing of beauty, but of pure magic. The way that it moves so gracefully, so deliberate and swift… Amazing that you were able to capture it!
The butterfly bush is right by the window, so I get some rather good views. 😉
That’s cool. So pretty and fun to see up close.
It brings joy to my heart every time, although I wish the light would have worked with me instead of against me.
