Monarch Monday

I have yet to post a black & white photo for Mono Monday(although I think it is a great challenge!), and today is no exception. Maybe next week.
But today I was thrilled to see a colorful Monarch butterfly among the weeds. Their population has declined due to the high temps and dry conditions we have had the past few years. This year we are having a cooler and wetter summer, so perhaps they are making a come back!
