Want to hear about the tarantula migration in New Mexico?  I didn't think so.

Miss the smell of that salty air near the beach. When the wind was right, we could smell it in West Torance!

My husband and I also moved to the Pacific Northwest and I so agree with you - I also miss SoCal soooo, soooo, much.  Yesterday someone here posted gorgeous pictures of all the poppies blooming in SoCal now too - I so miss all that SoCal has to offer.

@Kachina624, they have a special beauty all their own. :-) Seriously, though, they do -- from a distance, always from a distance.

@suzyQ3  A few years ago I was hiking at Allegheny State Park in NY in the fall and was fortunate to witness a Monarch butterfly migration.  One of the most amazing events I ever witnessed!!!  Beauty in motion !!!

@hayseed00, they also so beautiful. We see them often. Unfortunately, I think that they are dwindling in numbers, if I recall correctly.
