A female monarch butterfly in our backyard recently.
And a Pipevine Swallowtail Butterfly on our patio.
And if you live anywhere near Northeast Oklahoma come to Chandler Park in Tulsa for Monarchs on the Mountain. It’s a yearly event about everything butterflies and the environment in general. It is very educational, bring your kids and it is free! No admission fee, free parking, just free. Lots of organizations will have booths and there will be presentations. Check this link for more details including the lineup of speakers and some of the ancillary events associated with Monarchs on the Mountain. If you go, come by the Tulsa Urban Wilderness Coalition booth and say hello. I’ll be there.

…thank for sharing your butterflies, they are a rare sight here this year.
Hello,
I saw a similar sign for a Monarch festival in our local park.
Beautiful shots of the Monarch and the Swallowtail.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
What a fun event…I would definitely be there! Love your photos of butterflies and flowers!
Love these guys, we see alot of them in late Summer here. oh btw my post about bloggers who don’t comment occasionally on blogs that link with them, it wasn’t anything about you, you are awesome and I appreciate your comments.
The butterflies are absolutely beautiful. Sounds like a great event.
Beautiful captures!
Such lovely pictures! The festival sounds delightful.
What a great event. You snapped a great photo of the Monarch. They are so quick!
I’m happy to see you have a monarch. I saw one last year. Few butterflies here anymore other than cabbage whites. A swallowtail once in a while. There used to be painted ladies and buckeyes all summer.
Stunning capture of the butterfly thank you!
Beautiful!
I haven’t seen many butterflies this summer and it’s been very nice seeing yours.
