You have to admit, butterflies do the teenage years right. :D

You are the 2nd one in two days that shared a photo. The other blogger in Canada showed the monarchs hatching...they'll be flying down here soon! Great photo (ps...thanks for the heads up on nature's heart!)

Hello,

That is cool, great find! Enjoy your day, wishing you a great week!

I read the title of your post in my Feedly feed and wondered what Monarch crystals were. Then when I opened up the blog post I realized I read it wrong...lol Fantastic picture.

wow...this is a lovely capture Rose !! I remember ( in the days that I did not own a Digital camera ) our oleander tree's leaves having a plethora of these God's lovely Creations !!!They becmae more transparent and colourful with time and I would look forward to the beautiful butterfly coming out!! The Fils were rather expensive and we just couldn't afford it !!
But now I have two cameras and one nice phone and alas! No butterflies or cocoons!!

A little work of art. Mother Nature is wonderful.

Do you know what popped out? I would like to hear it was a beautiful butterfly. The background is so smooth it is hard to guess what it might have been. BTW, the crop I was considering was straight across through the dark log. You could just hold up a sheet of paper for a "do it yourself" crop!

It has a beauty all it's own. I would have loved to have seen it open up. A great image!

Wow, nature is amazing. That is an interesting photo, Rose. I would have loved to seen it right after it opened.
