Point Pelee: A Monarch Superhighway

While famous for birding, Point Pelee National Park is also a critical stop on the monarch butterfly migration. In autumn, tens of thousands of monarchs gather at the park's southern tip, resting & waiting for favourable winds before making the perilous flight across Lake Erie. This natural spectacle turns the park's trees orange and black with butterflies. #Canada #PointPelee #Monarchs #Migration 🇨🇦

Great day for a little kayaking. #pointpelee #kayaking
My attempt at shooting the #MilkyWay, shot Saturday night at #PointPelee National Park, a dark sky preserve. It’s a stack of six images blended together to bring out more of the detail.
I thought about editing out the satellites, but in the end decided to leave them in.
