Off the grid…
Nothing like weak wifi and intermittent cell service to force you to back off “the grid” for a bit. It’s been so nice to unplug a little and just hang out with my camera for a few days. Beautiful scenes to photograph are all the therapy I need 😀

FIRST MONARCH SIGHTING OF THE SEASON!
First Monarch butterfly sighting of the summer, AND SHE IS DEPOSITING EGGS!!!
So many thanks to my friend Morgan Faulds Pike, sculptor of the Fishermen’s Wives Memorial, for sharing her sighting. The female Monarch was spotted near Goose Cove, depositing eggs on Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca).
Note how the female is curling her abdomen around to the underside of the milkweed leaf. The Monarchs most often (but definitely not always), choose the most tender newly emerging foliage at the top of the plant on which to oviposit eggs.
Please share your Monarch butterfly sightings. If you do get a photo, we’ll post here. If you do not, we would love to know the date and location of your sighting any way. THANK YOU!
