Thanks to Steve C I was able to find the Monarch butterflies of Lighthouse Field in Santa Cruz. Here's the sign from the street. I didn't take the parking lot shortcut because the path was so muddy.

It was a gloomy chilly day, so only a few Monarchs were active, but those that were were easy to shoot as they were having trouble flying around.

Here's the sign under the trees.

And here's an overview from the parking lot looking westward.

    Hey Dee,

    Interesting stuff. The butterflies down here are active suckers and not too easy to shoot. Love the shot of the Monarch. thumb.gif

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
