Pismo Beach Butterfly's

January 13, 14, 2008 is my first gallery on New Year. Got myself a late Christmas gift of a new lens f/2.8 100 mm macro .
For my first event with new lens I took myself on a drive up the coast 200 mile's to Pismo Beach were Monarch Butterfly hang out for the winter in a eucalyptus grove. http://www.monarchbutterfly.org/ The rains the weekend before this made for outstanding weather and temps in upper 70's and so clear that I could see the channal island"s and oil platforms off the coast.
On the drive up I stopped off at the little arty community of Los Olivos. I wonted to photograph a courtyard that has some great art by a welder. http://www.phillipglashoff.com/home.html

Hi Lion,
Beautiful pix and a delight to look at. Interesting info to go along with the pix. I don't have a fav since I always enjoy all of your pix. I can hardly believe the snake and how real it looks.
Keep up the good work.

Excellent gallery. The butterflies do look like this. And shell beach is a great contrast to Pismo. Good show. Thank you for your message telling me of your new gallery. Next weekend we are going to the Oregon coast, will send you the address of the new gallery.

Hi Lion. Thanks for sending us your pictures. We enjoyed seeing them. Intesting shots. We especially liked seeing the butterflies, since we have never been there to see them. We really liked the shot of the ocean splashing up against the cliff. Paul & Karen Weeks

It looked like a 1946 Plymouth or Dodge.
