If an enemy of America seized America, they would be doing what Trump and his minions are doing…
…destroying democracy and pillaging America.
The people put an enemy in charge.

I was reading my Audubon guide about the smallest of the Sulphurs, the amazing Dainty Sulphur. Only a 3/4” wingspan. On wild Asters.
It can’t overwinter so it migrates from Mexico and SW U.S. every year to the MW U.S. and as far as Manitoba.

The last day that I saw Monarchs was on Halloween, right before a freeze the next day. A male on a pink Zinnia.

The Orange Sulphur butterfly has a Thanksgiving cooking tip for you.
Be sure to cut those Brussels Sprouts in half or shred them to release the bad tasting Sulfur. I prefer the shredded hash method with some shallots and finished with some pomegranate seeds.

Happy Thanksgiving to each of you and your loved ones. Extending well wishes to our foreign friends as well. I’m thankful for you.
Trying to be organized on the meal prep with a list for a change. Duck goes on first to go very low and slow to render out that duck fat to get a nice crispy skin.

The Black Swallowtail was prolific this year. I took almost 1,700 photos of them.
To distinguish sex, the male has a bold 2nd row of yellow, and the female usually has more blue on her hindwings. 🖤💛💙🧡
Photo order: Male, Female, Caterpillar

I snapped 1,086 Monarch photos in 2025, about 400 more than last year. Don’t confuse photos with population levels. It’s not a scientific survey. I would say that I simply got more carried away this year. 😁
Love this photo from Halloween. 🧡
