Milkweeds are in Bloom

Mass Audubon Wachusett Meadow Wildlife Sanctuary, Massachusetts
 
Wachusett Meadow is a Monarch Waystation with milkweed meadows that grace this place.
   Monarch life story is fused with these meadows...
     so, each time we visit, the story comes up, over and over again...
 
 Milkweeds are one of my favorites at any time of the season...
    Summer brings scents, colors, buzzzz... and swallows parading with their fly-overs,
          a charming portrait of what it means to be alive...   

Wachusett Meadow: ... monarch waystation...

Wachusett Meadow: ... in bloom...

Wachusett Meadow: ... absorbed by their scents...

Wachusett Meadow: ... and floret buds...

Wachusett Meadow: ... these are the milkweeds...

Wachusett Meadow: ... with their feathered guardians...

Wachusett Meadow: ... on call...

Wachusett Meadow: ... by the meadow...

Wachusett Meadow: ... the flowers...

Wachusett Meadow: ... and the buzzzzzzz...
