Those Wings

 Lone Tree Hill, Belmont, Massachusetts    

Enchanted by Monarchs, their looks, their energy and life story.

The most recent request from the Center for Biological Diversity to the Congress
 to provide more than $100 million per year
  to help stem the Monarch's rapid population decline and prevent extinction,

along with these words:
 
More than America's most beloved butterfly,
  the monarch is  a symbol of wonder, transformation, and resilience.
 
This may be Congress' last chance to save monarch before they become the face of the extinction crises.


Makes me take a deep breath,
 
 as I watch the first Monarch this season,
  and the ONLY one among milkweeds which grow here for them.

  Is THIS the way of nature ?

Lone Tree Hill: ... enchanted by monarchs...

Lone Tree Hill: ... their looks...

Lone Tree Hill: ... their energy...

Lone Tree Hill: ... and life story...

Lone Tree Hill: ... on the verge of extinction...

Lone Tree Hill: ... makes me take a deep breath...

Lone Tree Hill: ... as I watch the first monarch this season...

Lone Tree Hill: ... and the only one among milkweeds which grow here for them...
