Pismo Monarchs

A couple of weeks ago, we headed up the coast to check out the monarch butterfly sanctuary in Pismo Beach.  In a small grove of eucalyptus trees, a few thousand butterflies stop every winter on their migration route.  We took a ton of pictures, but not too many turned out.  Apparently, by observing the few dozen other photographers there, you need a two foot lens to get the job done...


















After butterfly gazing we went down the beach to play around a bit.  Of course, we took lots of pictures of our favorite subject




And, for when you're bored on the drive home -

  2. Haans and I went to the butterfly place when we were up in Pismo for our "baby-moon." Loved it. Another really fun place but an hour north of Pismo is where the elephant seals gather. It's about 15 min pass Hearst Castle. Haans and I loved observing those crazy looking animals and January is the brithing month.

  3. This may be a late comment, but that picture with Corban's fingers up his nose is hilarious! He is getting so big!
