Every year around the month of January the monarch butterflies come to Coronado Butterfly Preserve by the Ellwood Mesa. They come to roost up in the trees during the winter months. While we hike on the Ellwood Mesa during the spring and summer months, this was the first year we made sure to head over there in January to see the butterflies and we are so glad we did. We took a trail through the forest area. When saw a couple of butterflies just floating by we knew we were close. Once we got there, the butterflies were everywhere! Clumped together high in the trees, flying over and around you, resting on a branch alone. There were plenty of people around to see them, but they floated on and floated by.
The butterflies were so pretty and being there was so magical. It was like we were in another world. The feeling was peaceful.

A butterfly theme wedding would be a very fun idea. Weddings are a celebration of a new life for the two of you, and butterflies symbolize a metamorphosis into a new life. You can also be nervous and have 'butterflies in your stomach' right before you walk down the aisle. Butterflies are beautiful, their colors and designs vast, and so delicate. Here are a few photos for inspiration.

I like the butterflies hanging down by the centerpiece.

Pretty butterflies in an assortment of colors and can be used in an array of wedding decor details.
At the end of our hike we headed towards the ocean to appreciate the view. I can never tire of the view.It just started raining this afternoon, but I can't wait to return to the bluffs when spring arrives.
