Calvin flew home very early Sunday morning and I stayed for another day to visit with Rosie. On Sunday afternoon we went to the Monarch butterfly reserve. I have been fascinated with the migrating butterflies for years, but have never had a chance to actually see them. I knew that they would gather in particular trees year after year, but I thought in my mind that the butterflies would replace the leaves on the trees, not gather in clusters, so the trees would look like they had butterfly leaves. It was not what I expected, but remarkable none the less.
This is a picture I took using the regular lens on our camera. If you look really closely you can see a little patch of orange.
This is that same view using Rosie's telephoto lens.
I'm not a serious photographer, a couple of shots and I'm done. Rosie makes a more serious effort.
We also took a short walk along the bluff. Having grown up in Idaho, I never get tired of looking at the ocean.
And I never get tired of spending a peaceful Sunday afternoon with Rosie.
