California Trip Part Six (monarch butterflies)

On our way to the coast Sunday mid-morning, Laura and I drove a little further down a road, trying to figure out the location of the place to rent wetsuits and surfboards.  It was such an incredibly gorgeous day, and we passed a grove of mostly Eucalyptus trees where thousands [millions?] of monarch butterflies were flitting around... resting on their trip south to Mexico.  It was gorgeous, and I got a TON of wonderful photos!  Here's a few:

The beginning of a perfect day... Run in the morning with my cousin.  Church that morning with family.  There was a infant baptism.  And then tacos, pack a lunch, beautiful drive to the coast, a little butterfly grove along the way... and on to the beach.
