Monarch Butterflies
MARIPOSA TAKEN AT ZITACUARO MICHOCAN MEXICOThis is one of the most amazing natural events that takes place each year in North America featuring the delicate
monarch butterfly.
Marie and I along with a group from Farallon Mines headed to this Bio Sphere and world heritage sight set by the UN.
El Rosrario was north of Mexico city about 2 hours and then a hike up a pine forest mountain well over 10,000ft.
Marie hiked the whole way and half way i rented a horse that took me to join her at the site.
And what a sight it was!! About 300 million monarchs clinging everywhere.These that you see in the picture had flown from Canada & the US about 2,500 to 3,000 miles to this very small location. Certainly as you observe this and understand their migration pattern you can’t help but see evidence of the hand of God.
Its’ not by chance Mr Darwin.
