monarch butterfly grove

every year hundreds of thousands of butterflies migrate for the winter, and a few thousand of those choose this grove of eucalyptus trees to call home.

















we saw these two flutter to the ground in an amorous embrace.




after we ambled through the grove, sully found a little creek and discovered that he LOVES throwing things into water. meredith and i were entertained for bit, but after ten minutes or so, we decided to head home. sullivan went into full blown temper tantrum meltdown. as a carried him to the car, a sweet lady came up to us and said, "i thought he was a peacock!' before we got to the car we heard another man say, 'he sounds just like a raven.' he made quite a spectacle in the peaceful calm of the grove. :)
