The Wedding Tree….
A little over 17 years ago late on a beautiful fall afternoon, our daughter married the love of her life under a very old cottonwood tree. She was brought to the site in a horse-drawn buggy by her Daddy. During the ceremony monarch butterflies by the dozens came in and began landing on her wedding dress. At one point my son-in-law leaned over and whispered in her ear, “You’ve got butterflies.” It seemed like such a magical day and now it still does…..
Just a couple of weeks ago, they returned to the tree to have family pictures taken with their first and only child whom they waited over 14 years for. I think still is a magical place, no butterflies this time but the resident horses enjoyed their visit and agreed to pose with them….

Yes there are and if I had more time today I would have scanned them. That is on my to do list! Glad you enjoyed the post!
How beautiful! I remember that migration, too. It seemed all of Texas was full of Monarchs. Can’t wait to see the pics!
