Remarkable photos here, Hope; and what a fabulous collage you created with them! How blessed you are to have seen The Mountain of Butterflies in person. Our property is a Certified Monarch Waystation; although, sadly, we hardly ever see Monarchs on our milkweed anymore. Less than a half dozen each of the last two Summers.
When I turned on the computer tonight and saw The Google doodle you were the first person I thought of! I thought I remembered that you had been there once before! Of course your collage of all these beautiful butterflies is magnificent!
I saw this on the TP and just knew it was yours. :) We planted milkweed this year, fyi. Hoping for a better year for the Monarchs in 2016. Love the center photo, especially.
