Ecosystem


I was trimming the Iris in my garden when I saw these two little guys crawling around. How amazing that everyday we are seeing the ecosystem works without us noticing it.

Monarch Butterfly


Pacific Grove near Santa Cruz, California is home to the Monarch Grove Sanctuary. Every winter, thousands and thousands of Monarch Butterflies cluster together on the pines and eucalyptus at the sanctuary. They arrive in October and will stay until February, when they will join the spring Monarch migration, spreading northward and eastward as they hunt for milkweed plants on which to lay their eggs.
