It’s monarch butterfly season in downtown Bloomington.

That’s because the [pollinator plantings in the flower beds](https://bsquarebulletin.com/2019/08/16/butterfly-traffic-up-in-downtown-bloomington/) at the intersections of Bloomington’s downtown courthouse square are working their magic again this year.

Here’s some photos, all taken in the last week or so.

I threw in the goldfinch, because he was flitting around the courthouse grounds when I had my camera out. Besides butterflies and the goldfinch, there’s also a bunch of shots of bumble bees. On the courthouse square…bees. Bees….square. That’s an easy joke just half a block away from where I live. Enjoy.
