Maybe I should have named this "Butterfly's".
Paula and I have been to several "butterfly gardens" but we have never seen so many. This place had them everywhere and so many kinds that we must have taken 50 pictures. We of course saw dozens of White Egrets, Herons, etc but we have hundreds of pictures of them!
Of course Paula got one to land on here arm!
We did have this Cardinal sit still long enough to get a few pictures of him.

This picture is special, the horses are Marsh Tacky horses. They live wild on several of the islands and are descended from horses left here by the Spanish explorers in the 1500's. There are thought to be less than 300 left. There are three distinct breeds originating with the Spanish horses, including Banker Horses in North Carolina and Florida Cracker Horses.
Paula walked up to fence, talked to the horses and spent time petting one, of course. Later we were told that they are not friendly and will bite!

The "Animal Whisperer" strikes again! Great butterfly pics!
ReplyDeleteHilton head is beautiful! I'm jealous. The horses are really cool. I didn't realize there were still wild horses. Too cool!
