nightfall the black cat’s realm #vss365 #monoku

Here, in this sun-dappled #garden, we observe the Monarch #butterfly as she gracefully patrols her leafy #realm. Her existence intrinsically tied to the #Milkweed, she now embarks upon the vital task of securing the next generation's future. #vss365 #Photography #gardening #insects #Nature #Wildlife
