If only I could find more days in the week. A lovely story and lovely photos of the Monarch, even allowing for the sad ending whereby nature can be so apparently cruel.

Miraculous survival against all odds, assistance arriving unlooked for, emergence from a chrysalis after all hope seemed to be gone, struggling to find subsistence to gain the strength to fly, then after a brief, but all the more impressive flight, losing the battle for survival, but providing sustenance for yet another soul struggling to survive.
