The plan for today was to take in the "Living Desert". You can get a good description of what it is if you 'google' it. Desert Flora and fauna at its very best is the shortest description.
As we entered, we were informed that the Giraffe feeding was about to get under way so we raced to the compound where it was taking place. It was worth the run.
Liam found a warthog just his size.
We took in a great animal show which included a raptor show and a few predator mammals of the desert. Very educational and entertaining. This is one of only two parrots species native to the USA. The other one is extinct.
They have an incredible model train display, all outdoors and several acres in size. Liam was in his glory.
The butterfly and humming bird enclosure was a high light.
As Andrew was photographing humming birds, this butterfly landed on his camera!
I took several hundred photos and chose only sixteen to put on this blog. Tomorrow I will show you the others. (of the 16, that is) The gang is going to Lego Land and busyzizzy and I will be lying low and keeping Liam entertained and doing some grocery shopping. It was mostly overcast today and just a wee bit cool but comfortable for being outdoors all day. The hot tub tonight felt good and now it is time to 'crash'. We are lovin' the desert more each day.
