Monarch butterflies stop to feed on pollen and nectar from bushes of flowers along the Billy Wolff Trail on Monday, Sept. 22, 2025, in Lincoln. At the end of the summer months, a super generation of monarchs that has an extended life span emerge and prepare for their annual migration. Typically, as the weather begins to cool, the butterflies will begin their migration south. Those east of the Rocky Mountains migrate south to overwinter in the forests of central Mexico, while those from west of the Rockies fly to coastal California.

Stones stand in the ground on Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2025, at the Standing Stone Circle on the Prarie, which Renae Koehler constructed on her farm in Firth. Koehler, a minister for over 35 years, found inspiration in her study of various world religions, and in visiting other stone circle sanctuaries—such as Stonehenge—while traveling across Europe. “It’s an energy spot, and those big stones are the doorways to the Four Directions,” she said. “So we made sure we lined it up to the North, South, East and West.” Koehler says she’s hosted various rituals in the circle, and that guests will whisper to, listen for and even kiss the massive stones. Most of those standing upright were embedded more than 5 feet deep, so she estimates they’ll be standing at least a few millennia. When she interacts with the stones, she says she finds them “mystical, alive and healing.”
