p.1 #1 · Monarch (Pacific Grove Ca.)

I was inspired by some insect photos here on FM so I dug out one from the monarch migration in Pacific Grove Ca.

Thanks
Heath

Heath,
Nice shot of one of my favorite butterflys.
You got some nice back light.
Hope they show up in numbers this Winter.

The best time I have been there has been Jan & Feb, the sanctuary opens oct - march but some times I have gone there and the monarchs were in a public park about a half mile away, check with people at this link and they will give you more info
