Monarch butterflies spend the winter in Mexico, meaning they fly south in the fall and north in the spring, like birds. They fly through San Diego like a river delta, in large rivers and smaller creeks of low-flying color. It's magical.
One fall when I was a child, a main migratory route was diverted for some reason, and they flew thickly through our yard for about a week. Their red wings where like fall leaves, and the air was full of them fluttering by in a meandering yet purposeful way.
Right now they are trickling past the lobby, heading north to where ever home is.
Maybe when I die, if it's in fall, I'll fly south with them, and spend the winter in the mountains of Mexico. Just a wish.

Butterflies creep me out when there are more than 5.
