Benign weather pattern
Benign weather pattern is how NOAA called this weather we are having today and through Friday afternoon. Interesting way to put it I think. Well, since we have a benign weather pattern day today, it was perfect for visiting the grasslands. Which I did! Today’s post will be short because…well I have a lot photos to go through and as per usual I’m tired. LOL

Antelope Horns milkweed (Asclepias asperula ssp capricornu) was blooming and there was plenty of it!

Two monarch caterpillars were found by Alan. Both were on the Antelope Horns!
