My friends, Mark and Karen were in the Wild Arcadia Gardens in Bar Harbor, Maine last week and saw this beautiful chrysalis.  Mark was very proud that he knew what it was:  a Monarch chrysalis.  We enlarged the picture a bit;  it's really only about the size of your index fingertip.  But isn't it gorgeous?  Yes, it is.  I call this color "happy green."  And that rim you see near the top, turns gold when it's ready to open and release the butterfly.

 

Thanks Mark, for sending me the picture so that we can all marvel at this beauty.  

 

 

HAPPY FALL TRAVELS!!!
