Butterflies and Cyote!

Friday, December 17, 2010

Today Mom and Dad went to the Botanical Gardens in Tucson.  Mom said it was really neat because they had a Butterfly exhibit.  Mom got some really cool pictures of the butterflies - she said they even brush you off when you leave so the butterflies don't escape.  Then they walked around the garden and saw soooo many plants - 5 1/2 acres of plants, but most of them were cactus.


Very colorful butterfly





Unfortunately, this guy only opens his wings like this when
he is dying



This is what the butterfly above looks like when they have
their wings closed.




Fuzzy Castus.....

 After that, we went to another Saguaro Nation Park on the west side of town. There is a place there called Old Tucson and it's an old movie set where they used to make Western movies.  In the parking lot we saw one of my cousins - a COYOTE! He was just standing the parking lot like he was waiting for someone to give him a hand out.




This is my cousin?  What happed to his EARS???

 I'm not sure what Mom and Dad have in mind for tomorrow.....
