Default Some More Monarch Butterflies
Here's another batch of the Monarchs from Pismo Beach. I hope you enjoy and thanks for looking. Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends here that celebrate the holiday. Eat lots of turkey and be thankful we're still able to enjoy this.

From DPS


You may see the other Monarch Butterfly post here.

Ah, I can see them in a little more detail here Fred. What attracts them to the branches? Is it food? Whatever, they are truly a spectacle to behold. Thanks. PAUL

Wow, Fred! What a wonderful photo. I love the colors, especially effective with that bit of blue sky peeking through. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

I really don't know Paul. I think it's more or less the shelter. I understand they keep themselves a little warmer this way since they are rather intolerant of colder weather. Thanks for looking anf for leaving a nice comment.

You are very welcome Helen. I'm glad you like it. It's final product was brought to you via the wonders of Photoshop.
