What a phenomenal series of photos! I can scarcely believe that magical setting is real, with mushrooms and ferns and mosses!
I was going to ask if you had planted a Monarch garden, but you answer that in your captions. I recently purchased several packets of milkweed seeds. Last summer I saw two, only two, Monarch butterflies around my house. That tells me that they do pass through the area, so I'm hoping to plant a Monarch garden to attract them. I discovered that there are numerous resources online with information on creating butterfly and Monarch gardens. Where I lived previously, in Hawaii, we had a Crown Flower, or Giant Milkweed, tree in the yard, and every year it was covered with Monarch caterpillars who devoured it down to the bare twigs, and then we would have dozens, sometimes hundreds, of butterflies hatching. I really miss that here in the chilly mountains of Utah.

They're not dolls, they're action figures!
