South Florida trip Day 2 Butterfly World

The 2nd day of the trip, Shelly wanted to go to Butterfly world. (To see the pics bigger, just click on em)









She is a great photographer and just knew that this would be a great place to get some beautiful pics. It was very fascinating in there. It was also VERY hot and humid. But its South Florida in August.. we expected nothing else.


These are all pics that I took.

There were various types of flowers, birds, and of course butterflies. Relaxing music was streamed in from the speakers above, so you just kinda lost yourself in the gorgeous little piece of heaven.

I wanted to get a pic of this beautiful blue butterfly, but he wouldn't land for me. When he did, it was to feed on the bananas. BUT he would not open his wings. There were others feeding as well. I also snuck a shot of Shelly as she was taking pics.

My husband was lucky enough to have one land on his sunglasses


Did you know there were giant hummingbirds? I didn't either, but here he is









More butterflies










Butterfly sex!









Horny little creatures aren't they?









Don had to blow on him to get him to open his wings, but I finally got him










Then we went in to a different area to see some magnificent flowers




























Then off to see the Macaws





















Then we went back to her hotel, sat by the pool, drank strawberry daiquiris and ate pizza. I think she has all of those pics.


Day Three tomorrow! SOUTH BEEEEEEEEEEACH!

I LOVE butterflies! I didn't know they ate bananas. Hmmmmm..... I wonder if they'll slow down for some pictures if I put bananas out.

As for the butterflies having sex, that isn't true. They were just playing Leap Frog. I asked my mom.

dizz said...

LMAO It was the cookies!

dizz said...

Ohhhhhhhhhhh it would! I'll bet you could write the perfect song for it too! I mean that in a good way.. not in a perverted way! LOL

dizz said...

LMAO I think your mom just didn't want to traumatize you! Good to see you!

Skye said...

Wow, it sounds like your trip was a great success, and like you punished your very bad liver quite sufficiently :D

This new box asked me "what's on my mind"? I'm so confused. I don't know what to type...

As you can see, that has stopped me from commenting.

I love butterfiles and flowers.....and rainbows and puppies!

Very nice!

Love the butterflies and the flowers. And I've never seen a hummingbird sit before. I've only seen them fluttering about!

That's awesome!! I recorded a butterfly in my garden yesterday and I was entranced!
