A foggy and butterfly-filled morning in Pacific Grove

We visited Pacific Grove one morning. Lovely small town next to Monterey. First up was a sanctuary for Monarch butterflies (a brief resting spot for them as they travel south). An FYI: a 35mm lens is definitely the wrong lens to bring to a butterfly sanctuary. There were hundreds of butterflies high up in the trees, but it’s impossible to tell with a wide angle lens.

The Monarch grove sanctuary…

And then we walked around the coast of Pacific Grove before heading home. A nicely foggy morning.

(PS: Some of you mentioned VSCO presets on my pics — yup, I got them for Christmas! I actually didn’t use them on my previous post (the coffee break one), but I have used them on this post.)

A break for some coffee

Sometimes we all need a coffee break, right? I had some time off this month and thought I’d be posting a million things here… but got too busy doing all sorts of errands or traveling, and too lazy to process the photos. Hopefully I’ll get back into the swing of things now that things are settling down. Fingers crossed!

A trip to Monterey’s fisherman’s wharf and Cannery Row

Monterey is a lovely place that we need to visit more often. We didn’t get to see any sea life (I am always on the lookout for cute otters), but the wharf and Cannery Row were still great places to explore.
