Brief Encounter with a Monarch

Yesterday when I went for my walk, three different Monarch butterflies, on three separate occasions,  flew right toward me and then away. I was too surprised the first time to be able to film it. I had barely gotten out the door. This was the second time.

 The third time happened right after this one, when I was trying to watch footage of this clip on my phone. I have sweetened the vision for you by adding a snippet of music by Debussy and slowing down the butterfly's motion. But in real life the experience was even grander.
