angels' wings


well... not exactly. They were actually butterfly wings. On the 24th, the weather was gorgeous - the sun was shining and it was very warm so we went for a walk at Ellwood Mesa which I've blogged about before. There is a place in the woods that is a winter roosting site for monarch butterflies. As you see in the photo, they hang from the eucalyptus trees in clumps but when the weather is warm, the air is full of them. It was magical as thousands hung in clumps on the trees and hundreds more floated in the sky above us. It was magical.

extravagant beauty...
