This was taken at the Monarch Butterfly Reserve in Pismo Beach California. The Monarchs migrate here every year from the first of January to the middle of February. Not really a calender shot, but I wanted to share it.

We will have to come over for this and the birds next year, Kevin. Nice shot... I love the composition and the way the butterflies are lined up. The colors are amazing!


Life is hard...but I just take it one photograph at a time.

Spectacular! I love how perfectly focused the butterflies are and your background just blurs away ever so softly... Wonderful color too! :)

Only see them mid summer up here in the north. Nice shot, the DOF adds to the picture.
