A SUDDEN WIND GUST BLEW A LONE MONARCH IN A NORTHERLY DIRECTION past me- PROBABLY TOOK IT BY SURPRISE- BUT AFTER ABOUT 50 FEET OR SO, THE BUTTERFLY TURNED ITSELF AROUND IN A U TURN AND FLEW UPWARDS AND BEGAN ITS JOURNEY SOUTH AGAIN. THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR BUT INTERMITTENT WINDS GUSTS WERE PRECEDING A COLD FRONT FROM THE NORTHWEST. LATER OVER NIGHT TEMPS DROPPED INTO THE LOWER 50'S.
