I get to live in amazing places. This weekend while I was stuggling with the overgrown, undercared for back yard I looked up to witness a unique migration pattern. The monarch butterflies have hatched and started their migration from Pacific Grove, CA. The winds were just perfect to have them fly right through out housing complex. At first I thought that it was just little pieces of paper flying through the air from a fire. I moved from the back yard to the soccer field and notice hundreds of butterflies. This lasted for hours. Children were smiling ear to ear in hope to catch one of these butterflies in there home made butterfly net (who has those just laying around?). Today the groves of them have slowed down and I was able to capture a few photos of them on my flowers outside of my house. It was truely amazing, once in a life time opportunity to witness.
