Southeastern USA Plains. This is the last stop for rainwater before the storm drain leading to the Chesapeake Bay.

I love the joy you feel from the appearance of a monarch - knowing what that signifies.
And I love the way you study the overall water channel.
Watching them flutter around the milkweed, over to my neighbor's flowers, across the street and back again was beautiful. It was amazing to see one in person. They're much larger than I imagined and very graceful.
