A Migration of Monarchs

I got a lovely, and unexpected, call today from a high school friend. She and I have been living oddly parallel lives over the past few years and just reconnected at a recent reunion. 

Today, when we spoke, we commented on how nice it is to have one other person in the world understand what we mean when we talk about non-native invasives and orders of plants and animals and great essays by Aldo Leopold. But best of all, my friend shares her nature photos from various travels.  Recently, she went to Cape May to watch the Monarch butterfly migration. Look closely...those aren't flowers. 

Thanks, Grace!
