Every year, the Monarch Butterflies flock to the city of Pacific Grove (California for those of you who are not sure).

There is a grove of Eucalyptus trees that they go to. I've always wanted to go, as there are supposed to be thousands of them there. This year the count is a little light.
Only 2,500 supposedly. In years past, there have been up to 45,000 butterflies there.

Here are a few images of what we saw today. :)

Here, you can see a few of them on one of the trees. They were clustered like this all over the place.

Some people hunt with a gun. I use a Canon.

All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.
