Rare Capture, For Moi, Butterfly

Sunken Gardens, St. Petersburg, Florida

January 10, 2014, Man and I drove over to St. Petersburg to visit Sunken Gardens, lots of photos were taken, of course.

Hiding in the brush.

These are Laughing Kookaburras.  They are caged, which makes for safety but, crummy photos.  We zoomed, cause I just wanted to share, even with the fencing.  This photo does not show their size well, but, they are rather large, up to about 18 inches.

This was home, pretty house, eh??

Chasing that fly, slowly sneak up on it??  Somehow I don't think so - -
