My little two-acre plot in the countryside has a lot of area left natural, and a few milkweed plants grow there. We enjoy all kinds of butterflies. Your photos are excellent.<br /><br />JudithBotanic Bleuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16785345862310221087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065892893862596866.post-9763999273828228572016-11-17T17:26:18.391-06:002016-11-17T17:26:18.391-06:00Very beautiful and I am always deeply touched by t...Very beautiful and I am always deeply touched by the Monarchs and their tough life and journey.

I will never forget the sight of seeing thousands and thousands of monarch butterflies clinging to trees in an area near Pacific Grove, California, when my husband and I took a road trip along the Pacific Coast Highway form San Diego to San Francisco. The tree grove is a known monarch resting spot on their migration south. I never had a chance to blog about that spot--I'll have to look up my photos and blog about it someday in the future.Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065892893862596866.post-25115044561430583272016-11-16T16:10:34.803-06:002016-11-16T16:10:34.803-06:00Soooo pretty!!

When we lived in Santa Cruz and the kids were small, we used to take them to Natural Bridges when the monarchs would be clinging to the eucalyptus trees by the thousands. What a sight that was.

I don't think I ever saw it that it feeding three or four butterflies. Austin has something to be proud of when it comes to being nature-friendly. Every town in America should be involved in this. I think Ladybird Johnson did a lot for nature in Texas, too.
