The Amazing Monarch

For three years in a row, Dallas plaintiffs lawyer Windle Turley followed one of his passions to Mexico and photographed the results.

Turley photographs monarch butterflies, according to stories by the Dallas Business Journal and the Tex Parte Blog. He followed their winter trek to Mexico for three years beginning in 2005. Now hundreds of his photos are being published in a new coffee table book, The Amazing Monarch: The Secret Wintering Grounds of an Endangered Butterfly.

According to the Dallas Business Journal, butterflies are not the only wildlife photographed by Turley. He has “tracked orangutans in Borneo, gorillas in Africa and polar bears in places still cold enough to have them,” the story says.

Turley plans to donate proceeds from his new book to the Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center.
