monarchs galore

Today, I learned that these monarchs are hibernating. It's the third time (thanks to Hubby!)  I have found then gathered in King Edward Park in Hawera. Unlike those in the northern hemisphere, our monarchs just wander instead of migrating. 

Here's a link, if you're interested.

Monarchs in the park

Missy and I were wandering around in Hawera and went to the park for a walk.

We found this lovely surprise of orange color in the trees.  I had seen a larger group of them

in the same park in May of 2013.

Our World Tuesday

monarchs

I thought our weather had messed up the monarchs' breeding patterns until I did a little research and found out that there are several generations and not all of them migrate. I was absolutely astounded to find these hanging in a sunny spot on trees in a park in Hawera.

Busy monarchs

I miss the garden we had before we moved. This is one of my favorite photos from it. There were monarch butterflies everywhere, besides these busy four!!
