Sharing one of my butterfly bushes in Dustin's garden, beside the bench. Still full of blooms in the middle of September. The butterflies are not coming as often. They will all be gone soon. But the blooms are still here for now. Amazing how much is still blooming this late in the season. The rain helps as well. I will enjoy until the last bloom is gone. Also saw a bluebird earlier this morning in the yard. Made my day.

Maybe they are hiding somewhere.

Butterflies do not live long, unfortunately and the monarchs have left for their migration.

Yes, I have noticed a drop off in the number of bees and flutterbys. Guess summer is coming to an end
