Tastiest Thistle in Town

A bunch of monarchs stopped off at this tasty thistle watering hole... it wasn't the only one in town but it was the most popular one.

This is how Pacific Grove looks earlier in the year. They call themselves the monarch city. Beautiful cluster and the bokeh sets them off.

Super! I've never seen the Monarchs gather on the thistles (and we're in their migration path). Usually it's the swallowtails. Very nice!
