Amy and I were having a walk around the garden when Ed told us that butterflies were congregating on the October Sky asters in the bed down by the road. What a wonderful thing is was to stand and watch beautiful Monarch butterflies dance in the sunshine.
The large mound of bluish purple asters is amazing on its own, but today it was buzzing with bees and dotted with butterflies.

We spent some time trying to capture pictures of the butterflies. When disturbed they would fly away, but never went far.
After a short while we stopped trying to capture the butterflies and just enjoyed watching them. We wish them well on their trip south. These beautiful butterflies are such a great example of Nature coming back against the odds. To me they are a symbol of real hope!
