A teaser from one of the San Antonio news stations last night about Monarch Butterflies made me think I needed to go see if there were still any along Pinto Creek. Even as recent as Monday I had seen them along Las Moras Creek. The blurb I heard made it sound like San Antonio was being inundated by them, but I guess it wouldn't have been much of a tease for them to say, "Hey, we're still seeing a few Monarchs in SA."
Out I went and, but heck, I only saw a few Snouts and two Queens on the farm today. I didn't even see a Sulpher or a Fritillary and we were lousy with Fritillaries just last week.
There wasn't much to shoot at all today, really. It's so dry here that everything is dying. Even the Goldeneyes that were covered with all manner of blossoms and flutterbies two weeks ago are now tipped with shriveled crispy yellowness. And, sadly, there are no rain chances in sight.

My pictures of spider webs never turn out. That is one super cool pic you took there!
Thanks, oh Necrotic One! They are tricky (for me) to shoot. I've got a ways to go before I can shoot them truly impressively but they're certainly fun!
Thanks Troy and Martha! And thanks for the constant inspiration from your diligent and awe inspiring photography work!
I love the picture of the web, love the DoF!
