Fall Weather Changes - Rain and Mist


Bookmark and Share


With the end of Summer we have moved into Fall.  Some nights as cool as 45 degrees, and some days only reach 64F. Some days are wet, while others are dry.  Some overcast, and some are sunny.  The monarch butterfly migration continues on warm and dry days.  On wet days they hunker down, and are not to be seen.  But as soon as  the sun comes out and it dries out and warms up, then the butterflies work their way south.

Walking shortly after the rain has ended, the mist flows with the wind.

Fall, Monarchs and Nature



Bookmark and Share



We're currently on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. The great annual Monarch butterfly migration continues. We enjoy watching the flutter by as we walk the shoreline. Some get perilously close to the water. Nature prevails. As I write this a nuthatch is working its way down the pine, about 5 feet away. With fall, there is some urgency as temperatures cool.








Some Monarchs don't make it
