Monarch (Danaus plexippus)(m) ~ In Golden Light ~

I had not seen anymore Monarchs come through since the 5 on 12th October. We then had a 40° temperature drop with a cold front

That then brought high gusting winds and 87°F temps again.

Today.. all became calm and a beautiful 84°F and a glorious day.

This evening... in a golden cascade of light.... this male Monarch came to feed of the Lantana and False Sunflowers.

The Migration is well underway and I wont see many more gems like this.

EXPLORED !
