still life

we are so blessed to have a butterfly gardens here

it is just up the road.. maybe a 7 min. drive

i love going there!

i have gone so many times over the past two years

that the owner won't let me pay

she says she can't take money from me

because i am like family

can you believe that?

life is like that on roatan

once people make a connection that is deep and true

they have a hard time taking money from you

it's wonderful

so what i do is take lots of people to the gardens

at least that way some money is coming their way

if you are planning a trip to roatan 

i recommend the roatan butterfly gardens 

they have butterflies, of course

and also they have

about 8 different types of tropical birds

it is a wonderful little bit of paradise in there

the foliage, the flowers,

the birds, the butterflies

it's all so beautiful!

the last time i was there one of the guys asked

about my budgie

so today i brought him with me

 

look at how small buddy is compared to the amazon parrots!

his wings are clipped and although he can fly a little bit

he can't go far

so i didn't mind having him out of his cage

i knew there wouldn't be any dogs in there 

plus he loves other birds so he had a great time!

i took melissa and the boys

see how brave she is to hold the macaw!

i didn't hold it because i thought what if he 

bites buddy.. it would be a little snack for him

and um.. that would be so tragic!!

these two are mates
how sweet is that?
even though they are diffent types of parrots
so in love!

3 cheers to the roatan butterfly gardens!
one of my favorite places to visit!
