Ellwood Monarchs

Your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Within minutes

of my home, there is a wintering site for Monarch Butterflies. A

wonderful experience to watch them . In a couple of weeks they wil be

gone on their way North.

Last weekend I happened to watch a documentary on these fellas. Something that we take for granted their survival is much complicated. It gives me a whole new respect for this pretty creatures.

This image you created here is nice with a good flow to keep us engaged. The back light is well done, showing off all the beautiful colors.

Beautiful composition of colour and light . Lucky you to have this so close to home. 

Cheers

Beautiful nature capture. Congrats.

Hi Phillip,

  Wow...beautiful image with wonderful composition, colors & background.  Take care, Patsy

downright magical! Take good care of these guys!

Your viewing and comments are appreciated.  Sitting in the eucalyptus grove and watching them is a wonderful experience; getting a nice image is "frosting on the cake"  Thanks, Phil

Thanks for your viewing and comment.  The monarch butterflies of the west mainly winter along the coast of Central and Southern California.  They require very specific wintering and breeding conditions.  Thankfully there are many initiatives to  preserve these habitats.  Thanks again, Phil
