Pismo Beach has a Monarch Butterfly Grove on highway 1. Each year thousands of vibrant orange and black Monarch Butterflies flock to Pismo Beach, seeking shelter from the freezing northern winters. From late October to February, the butterflies cluster in the limbs of a grove of Eucalyptus trees at Pismo State Beach.
This guys was just hanging out.
I hope you enjoyed the butterflies. Join me tomorrow for a coffee break by the beach. Don't miss out on Jill's Cranberry Harvest Muffins, they will make you hungry just looking at them.

Beautiful pictures -- once, a long time ago, I happened to find a Monarch's overnight stop on their way to warmer climes. It was a sight to see and I sight I'll never forget. I went back for a couple of years but alas -- no more butterflies!
Denise, this is absolutely amazing! I can't get over all of those butterflies! They are GORGEOUS, aren't they? Nothing more beautiful...
Happy Outdoor Wednesday to you!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Incredible! I'd love to see this for myself. Monarch butterflies are not only beautiful, they are amazing. They travel such great distances.
Oh My Gosh Denise...
Sweetie these are just magnificent. I love all of the butterflies in the clusters. Aren't they just so colorful and free. Free to roam wherever and to fly free. I think I would be at Pismo beach everyday photographing them all. What a wonderous site this must be in person. Beautiful photography.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience. I am so thrilled that you shared with me this evening.
Country hugs sweetie...Sherry
Kewelopolis! I have never seen such a beautiful site. Lucky you!

I have a post, as well, from the same place back in early November! How fun it is to see your photos too. They are lovely, aren't they!
Your captures are gorgeous!
Oh I just love your photos of all the butterflies. I've vacationed near Pismo Beach years ago and had a great time. The pictures brought back some nice memories!
Hi Denise, the monarchs are just fleeting and gorgeous! And the cute dog blends in too, with its orange and black fur!
How lucky could you be so close to Pismo Beach.
Enjoy the beauty of nature!

Denise, Although this is fascinating, I'm glad that you're not the Florida sister--you see, I'm scared of butterflies, and I'd hate to think that these pictures were taken in Florida! Thanks for sharing. Happy OW.
What beautiful photos. Thanks so much for sharing them with us. Have a great Outdoor Wednesday.
I mut admit I'm envious that you actually saw that in person! Thanks so much for taking the photos and posting them!
These are absolutely beautiful photos. The shot of the butterflies against that incredibly blue sky is amazing. Happy OW! Kathy
