Star Wars at Discovery Science Center

Star flowers

You know how all the smart phones have cameras nowadays, and how they allow for taking a shot and posting it right away? Well, I did take these ones of these crazy flowers in a patio garden my wife I pass near our favorite breakfast spot with my phone...

Pismo State Beach Monarch Butterfly Grove

The Pismo State Beach Butterfly Grove is a routine stop for migrating monarch butterflies.

See them in the grove of eucalyptus trees? No?

How about now?

Thought they were leaves?

No, those are clusters of monarchs.
