On the Saturday before Labor Day, we went out to the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge for a walk. The first critter that I came across was a monarch butterfly. The first two images are the same butterfly. However, I am not sure if the third photo is of the same butterfly. I think it might possibly be the same one in all three photos. I remember feeling as though I was chasing the poor thing. I would see a monarch flying and it seemed as though I could never catch up to it except these two different times. It kept flying just ahead of me.

Beautiful photos. I've seen a LOT of Monarchs around here lately. They must be migrating.
lovely!
I think the Monarch Butterfly is very beautiful - I wish we had them here. Thanks for sharing your pictures from your walk. 'Shiawassee' - an interesting name.
Thanks so much for mentioning my flower blog - I like your quote too. Just visit when you can, Christy. I'll be back as well.
Those are beautiful butterflies. Thanks for sharing.
It is fine even if you chased it. I like Monarchs because they are one of the few that will land long enough for me to take a picture, though the sight of one at my house is extremely rare. (One or two in 6 years.)
