The Phuket Butterfly Garden
Phuket Butterfly Garden.
Wonderful butterflies of course and much, much more.
It is a museum and research centre which focuses on all manner of insects, including a new section on silk worms.
Most of these pictures were taken by Bill - he is so good at this sort of thing.
I'll own up to mine as we go.
These photos have already been seen by most family and friends, for they were posted on facebook a little while ago. But now I put them to bed for posterity on my blog.
This is mine, and is out of focus. I have included it in the blog so that you can see how well laid out and colourful is the museum and how it automatically creates interest for the visitor.
Arrrrrgh!!!! I can here cousin Alison screech "I thought you said this was a beautiful butterfly garden!
Bill was more fascinated by the scorpion.

There are specimens of all kinds in the domed display cases.

Now - wall to wall butterflies and us.
I don't know the names of the butterflies.

We all loved this type of butterfly and spent a lot of time tracking them. They flitted and flew and rarely settled for long enough.

The garden is a lovely place to walk and look at flowers.

It has netting across the top of course - can't let the little beauties fly away.

Keep still. Jamie wants your picture!

Bill and I were still out butterfly chasing.
