BACKYARD TALES


A COLORFUL MEAL
Butterflies are well-known
pollinators, and they enjoy
yellow, orange, white or
purple flowers.


Even though
I grow many
flower varieties in my
garden, sadly, I don’t see
many butterflies. So I was
thrilled when this eastern
tiger swallowtail showed
up among my daylilies.

I traveled to
Tawas Point State Park in
Michigan to see masses of
monarch butterflies gather
before their incredible
3,000-mile journey to
Mexico. I especially like
how the morning sun
highlights each butterfly
in this photo.
