No Monarchs
As it has warmed up a bit after the front last week and the rain this weekend the pollinators have returned to the garden. I'm a bit under the weather and cannot stand in the street as long as I might like (and the camera batteries ran down too). So here was Monday - No Monarchs, but quite a few Queens. There are fewer of the showy guys. I didn't even attempt the other flies.
I'll keep checking until the blooms are gone. Good to have something to pull me outside - even for a short few moments.

Basically the same stuff today. It was foggy for a long time this morning and the Queens did not show up (and very few at that) until the sun came out.
