Monarch of all it surveys

Just because…

…I really am going to the Chicago Institute of Art today, so no Photo Challenge.
…I can’t wait to see the butterflies again.
…I love the colors and I’m color hungry after winter.
…I just like the photo.  Hope you do, too.  I’m off into “the city” today, downtown Chicago, on a day that’s supposed to be warm and sunny.  I’m packing my camera as well as my phone and Kindle, so who knows what you may see in upcoming days?

Happy Friday!

We have a butterfly bush.

We have a butterfly bush.  We actually have two, one with purple blooms, one with white, both looking like lilac bushes.  I only realized recently that the white one was a butterfly bush as well.  The white one grows to the side of the deck, so I can’t see it as easily. The purple bush grows directly outside the large living room window, against the window when at its largest.

Wordless Wednesday the day after
