What a stunning winter day! I have abandoned the Japanese hot muggy summer for winter at home with family and friends.
This afternoon was a warm calm day. My sister heard Monarch Butterflies were out en masse at the Rawhiti Reserve. Dad, my sister and I embarked on a monarch safari. Here are our “game” shots
