This morning for Camera Critters I have chosen one of my favorites. It's the end of September, and about now, or in early October each year, the monarch butterflies start their migration to Mexico. Depending on the weather, here in Cape May County, we are treated to masses of these butterflies preparing for their flight across the Delaware Bay. Here are a couple of pictures from a previous year.
One of their favorites is the goldenrod. The more goldenrod, the more butterflies.
There is another photo over on my sidebar.
You can find many more critters of all kinds at Misty Dawn's site, here.
Thank you, Misty, for hosting Camera Critters each week.

Beautiful butterflies! Isn't it wonderful to be able to find the beauty around us in spite of so much ugliness in the world around us. You help remind us of that and I thank you!
An amazing trip for such delicate creatures.

That is an amazing picture of all those Monarchs on Goldenrod. I don't think I have ever seen more than one or at the most two, all at the same time. A fascinating photo!

wow what beauty a reak find sandy
The monarchs are still her in central Ontario...but not for much longer, I'm afraid.
Bobbie: I'm so jealous, I have plenty of Goldenrod but a lacking of a wave of butterflies. What a great capture.
How pretty!
Every time I see a picture of goldenrod I remember how it makes my poor mother sneeze. She's terribly allergic to it. :-)
Beautiful butterflies! I have been chasing a lot of those last summer!
For the Love of Pets
Very good post with marvellous subject.
Beloved and beautiful creatures!
I love all the butterflies in the last picture. I had a pretty orange one flitting around my lantana bushes and was able to get a couple of pictures for my critters today.
wow! fabulous and beautiful butterflies! I love it..
Just beautiful!
Beutiful Butterfly!
I rarely see Monarch butterflies where I live. I guess they don't like the desert climate 8v) Nice photos. Thanks
