i think letting yourself be vulnerable is pretty cool actually
The same administration that cut nearly $1 billion in funding for cancer research labeling it 'waste, fraud, and abuse' is spending nearly $1 billion to paint the border wall black.
So a symptom of depression that many people don't think about is anger. Feeling helpless can make some people very, very angry. The more helpless they feel (^ depression) the more angry they feel. So if there are people trying to manipulate your rage to a specific target...

This is Grace. Her human became terminally ill and made the difficult decision to surrender her so she can get the medical care she needed. Thanks to your support of our merch, @15outof10.org was able to cover her dental care, spay, and mass removal, AND she found a new forever family โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
@berniecullen.bsky.social hey
One of the most magical photos I've ever seen ๐คฉ
We grew these flowers specifically for Monarch butterflies to have a snack.
Incredible!
An absolute wow. Breathtaking.
Sadly they are on the verge of extinction
Beautiful. Hopefully Climate change doesn't kill them off
Just astonishing ๐
๐ค
oh, I hope this is a current image - this is the dream!
It was Point Pelee, they journey from Mexico to Point Pelee to escape the cold weather.
God job. It's sad that they are on the verge of extinction
I raise monarchs and I think they are one of the most beautiful creatures on earth!
Mother Nature has such beautiful children
Did you mean Point Pelee? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_P...
Beautiful photo. Just went to the Point and loved it.
Looks like a Christmas tree. Really beautiful.
A few years ago I started growing a large patch of milkweed for the monarchs. We bring in the eggs, feed the caterpillars and release dozens of them every year. We are on our last batch. This will be the wave that flies to Mexico. Safe travels, my beauties.
The scales on a butterfly give the order their name lepidoptera which means scaly wings. The scales aid in flight, colouration, defence and even in warming the butterfly, with the surface of the scales being made from chitin. youtu.be/55kd9W3DMTo
WOW!
Amazing! Nature is truly awe inspiring!
Unbelievably Beautiful! I have tears in my eyes!
Monarch butterflies from Ontario will travel south to the mountains of central Mexico in the fall to overwinter in the same oyamel fir forests each year. This long can cover up to 3,000 miles. Oaxaca Mexico will celebrate Day of the Dead in Nov when the butterflies arrive.
I saw this at San Simeon, CA, and it looked like the trees were breathing. Awesome experience ๐
Wow who could imagine thousands of butterflies are just chilling there from afar.
I saw a video of them flying and clustering awhile ago. There was a special drone type camera that flew in, it was designed specifically so they couldn't get caught up in it's parts. I've been lucky in seeing a couple kaleidoscopes in my life, though never this large.
#PlantMoreMilkweed Support the endangered monarchs. (No. Not the Hapsburgs)
Pelee.
This very same thing happened on a huge oak tree on my former property in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. I could not believe what I was seeing. It was covered in shimmering orange/gold as they prepared to overnight before heading to Mexico in the morning.
Before the pandemic we went to the Mexican monarch sanctuaries up in the mountains and there were groves of trees covered with butterflies just like this. The air was filled with fluttering butterflies. It was the most magical experience you can imagine.
Spectacular
Beautiful swallowtail!
We've missed the migration the past few years in northern SD, but get a straggler who comes through from time to time.
Not Canada!
There is indeed still enormous amounts (albeit much less than previously) of monarchs gathering in the waning days of summer. Point Pelee is the last land mass on their journey across Lake Erie. Based on the foliage in this photo, itโs more likely to have been taken in a Mexican wintering locale.
Year of photo taken? Seems it has been a while since I heard of monarchs doing this.
I got my first monarchs in my butterfly garden this weekend on their journey. There's also a great 20 min move the Smithsonian shows on the whole journey and tracking the.
Even the butterflies are bypassing the US and going to Canada ๐
visitmichoacan.com.mx/en/experienc...
And their final destination is the state in Mexico where my family is from: Michoacรกn. ๐ฆ Come to think of it, maybe the Monarchs are onto something?
Theyโre even leaving United States
One morning in Southern Illinois, I awoke to find all the trees in my yard turned orange overnight. They were covered with thousands of Monarch butterflies. It was a magical sight. Bad weather had blown them off their regular course.
aha! that is interesting point...
Agree. Unfortunately, a lot of misinformation gets posted because people donโt know enough about a topic to recognize whatโs correct. The monarchs are not known to do this in the north. Only in the wintering areas (Mexico).
Impressive image. Some quibbles: it is Point Pelee, there are no trees of this size in the park. The image might be from Mexico where the Monarchs winter, but more probably is a fake.
Love this photo of Monarch Butterflies in Ontario Canada probably Point Peel National that i went to yearly in Sept in my twenties as they gathered to cross Lake erie migrating south waited for the wind to change
Is there no one that can take the pair into their home? Omg

Good on you. Many animals feel emotions, love, fear, anger and more. What I wonder is if they see some things as beautiful - like when we see a great sunset. An aside, when Harley- on the right - passed, Shorty hid under the bed for two months, only coming out to eat, drink & use the litter box.
Thank you for such a heartwarming story. Thank you for loving them too!
They look so happy now. I hope you can find them a home together.
Beautiful
Nice that people cared enough to not only help Angelina get the treatment she needed but to bring Bob along to be with his girl! Thatโs kindness my friends!
And if one dies...the other one will mourn for a spell. They will need to be with one another. Same thing people do. Dogs are people too.๐๐
Precious. I LOVE these two characters. ๐๐ถ๐พ
THIS is the sweetest thing to see this morning - the power of love and friendship. Angelina & Bob - so happy to see you both smile again once you were reunited . . . Thank you Niall & team for recognizing they needed one another ๐๐ซถ๐พ๐ถ๐
I love dogs so much ๐ญ
And animals don't have feelings?
Wow ๐ฅน๐ซถ โฆ.. u guys are angels on earth!
Love you guys and everything that you do ๐๐
Sure that isnt Billy Bob?
Thank you

The best human behavior we have is showing kindness.

Two beautiful harmonies sing together again. Singing to the dance of love ๐

Tell me they are not going back to the streets.
Thank you
Such precious puppies. Prayers for continued recovery.
How incredibly lovely. We can learn a lot from Dogs..
They look so happy to be together.
