Nature Spotting: The Monarch Migration

Written by

Beautiful shots of the 2,000 mile Monarch Butterfly Migration

Natural beauty can come from all sorts of unassuming places, like when over 1,000,000 Monarch butterflies decide to take off, together, and migrate over 2,000 miles.  Their final destination, where the air is cool, but not cold enough to kill their pretty asses, allows them to huddle together (for warmth?) and to make for a kind of breathtaking sight.  Beginning in August, the Northern US states & Canada make for a (nectar) fueling station before the journey to Mexico, Southern California and the likes, where these photos were wild images were captured.
