It was wonderful. We decided to have lunch on the beach in Misquamicut, R.I. Hundreds, possibly thousands of beautiful monarch butterfies were following the coastline south. We attempted to take some pictures will our cell phone, but I don't think we were successful. An occasional monarch would land on the high tide seaweed line and rest for a few minutes. None of us could believe that these fragile insects could fly so far!
