Monarch Butterflies

 
This morning Kent spotted a lot of butterflies on one of our milkweed plants.   A closer look showed a bush full of Monarch butterflies.

 
Arizona is on their migration route, but I've never seen so many in the yard at one time.

 
It gave me a great chance to play with my new camera again.







 
 
         While we were having breakfast on the porch, a hummingbird joined us.  They are very friendly out here and frequently come close to check out what's going on.
 
I think this one is a Black Chinned Hummingbird, but I'm not sure.
