Monarch potential
It was another day of short mileage... short, but productive mileage. I didn't get any farther afield than across the street to my neighbor's meadow, but while I was there, I noticed a Monarch butterfly visiting a patch of milkweeds. When I risked too close an encounter with deer ticks and drew nearer the lepidopteran, I realized that she was stopping every now and again to lay eggs. This is a close-up of one of her potential offspring, and there were several others that I could locate. With any luck, I'll be able to bear witness, in about a week, to some tiny caterpillars. Here's hoping that good fortune is on our side.
