After lovely stroll we got down to a serious task: finding a flutter of Monarchs. We had seen a small group across from San Simeon State beach. So, we headed up the trail. Unfortunately, there wer no butterflies flitting around us. I was starting to think that maybe I had been mistaken. But, then, Debra saw a small flutter maybe a half dozen, then a dozen and I knew they had to be close by. Lee and I disregarded the "Stay on the trails" sign and headed through the meadow beneath 100 foot tall Monterey Pines. And, then through the branches I saw them hanging from the branches. I signaled to Lee and the the others and ran uphill to the so silent and so alive sight. I felt a shiver that started in my feet and worked it's way up to the roots of the hair on my head as I stood watching in awe this magical fairyland. I have no words to describe it, so here photos:
