Monarch Butterfly, Goats and White Pigeon.
It's been some time since I have posted a fence or gate, for Gosia's meme Fences Around The World, and I'm not even sure this ever was part of one, but when I saw this unloved discarded frame, that's what I'll call it, I decided to give it some space on my blog. There were other metal scraps dumped in a hole nearby, which I would never have seen, if I hadn't been chasing a Monarch Butterfly, which led me a merry dance through knee high flowers. Some goats, and a pigeon with all white plumage were my next finds.

the butterfly pics were worth the chase and to find goats and beautiful white doves. OH MY!!! that fence gate sculpture thingy is quite interesting. trying to decide what it is.. great find...
Hi. White pigeon ,wow and monarch butterfly. Superb.
I truly enjoyed this joyful post! Even the old discarded gate is beautiful and seems as if it belongs there. I think chasing a monarch butterfly through knee-high flowers sounds like the loveliest possible way to spend a morning. And 'catching" the beautiful monarch with your camera made it even more perfect. Thank you for sharing it -- and all of your lovely photos.
Thanks for the wonderful photos. The monarch butterfly is beautiful very beautiful. Oops. White pigeon.
Gorgeous detail on the butterfly.
Great Monarch pix!
What a gorgeous series! I absolutely love everything in your photos!
Is that a pigeon or a dove? Looks like a spirit of peace to me. Some lovely subjects beautifully captured. Thanks for sharing them.
A wonderful little vignette of your day. It's pretty hard not to be totally enamoured of someone, even at a distance, who can turn the discovery of a piece of scrap metal into a pleasing jaunt through a meadow. You can come with me on my walks any time you want, and I am sure you will transform the mundane into the delicious.
It's interesting that you have Monarchs Sonjia. I didn't think there were Monarchs on this side of the Atlantic until I went to Fuerteventura. There was a small colony there and I don't think I ever found out about their origins. Did the Monarchs as long didtance migrants originally cross the Atlantic or were they introduced to the island? More surpisingly, I don't think they are on other Canary Islands, depite the close proximity. Think I need to more reading on the Internet.
I love that monarch...great shots! The goats are so cute, and yes, the fence was worth it! Plus, the white doves...wow, just beautiful!
This is such a lovely post. I do like the variety of shots, creatures and images. Thank you for getting the beautiful monarch - stunning photographs.
Hope your week is going well.
All the best Jan

Lovely capture on the monarch butterfly and the black and white goats make a nice combo! Thank the butterfly leading u to places with interesting pick up. Gorgeous pigeon
Very white pigeon, not an albino (which would have pink eyes I think),,,,,,,,
wow I love the fence thx
Thank you for the patience it must have taken to get such perfect shots of the butterfly. Brilliant close-ups for sure and beautiful photos. The goats and the white dove are lovely also, as was the interesting fence for Gosia's meme.
Wonderful shots! Love those monarchs!

A great curvy fence find. Beautiful critters. Beautiful butterfly and sweet white dove. Ha ha I like the curious look of the goats!
Thats amazing , same as Phil I didn't think there was any in Europe, great potos though, and I love the pigeon, I was looking for a ring on it's leg thinking it may be a homeing pigeon but none there.
All the best Gordon.
Wonderful images...specially of the Monarchs...

Great pics of the Monarch Butterfly, Goats and White Pigeon. I love seeing the butterfly in my yard just flitting around.
Hi there! I'm visiting from Eileen's blog today. I have something in common with you - I also picked up photography from the need to start walking more, and now that camera is glued to my hip! Lovely photos - all of them.
Have a wonderful day,
Andrea
Thank you for taking us along through beautiful wild meadows on your merry dance! It was FUN!!! How
I love those goats! Super photos of the butterfly & the pigeon!
Happy weekend!
...they ALL are great, but the butterflies are my favorites.
re the colors of the Satin bowerbird. There is an explanation in Wikipedia.

Beutiful photos! I love butterflies very much. The Monarch is so pretty!
Very colorful butterflies on the flowers.
Love the monarchs!!! But that White Pigeon......that's not a Rock Pigeon is it?? That's such a beautifully white and perfectly plumaged bird. If that is a Rock Pigeon, it's the most perfect one I've ever seen!
Hello!!! :-) Nice series of pictures.. Cheers..
That is one beautiful pigeon. Nice critter filled post.
Absolutely beautiful pictures, my friend. I love the goats! Have a great week!
Wow. Great photos.
Wonderful wonderful photos - what an adventure - I think my favorite is the last one - such composition. Love the goats too.
What a pretty little pigeon and I love seeing the goats. One of them is giving you quite the look!
The second goat picture made me chuckle.
Our monarchs are beginning to move south. Lotsa goats, though!!!
