Pismo Beach

This afternoon Jeremiah took us to Pismo Beach to check out this amazing grove of trees.

If you haven't realized yet, these are Monarch Butterflies.

Starting in November of each year you can find thousands of Monarch Butterflies at the The Pismo Beach Grove. The Monarch count has averaged 25,000 over the last five years. In most years, Pismo has the largest aggregation of Monarch butterlies in the U.S, with Jan 2008 estimated count at 6,500. If your in the neighborhood, its a wonderful place to visit. The kids were just amazed that when you first looked at a branch it looked like leaves, but then a closer look made you realized that it was actually covered in Butterflies. Just beautiful!
