| This sign greets you on arrival at Port of Aruba |
 |
| Boarding busses with fellow travelers for various tours of the island. |
 |
| Those things that look like jet engines --- the crew refers to them as "BSTs" --- they actually have no purpose except decoration, so they are just the "Big Silver Things" ... BST |
 |
| The most interesting thing (in John's humble opinion) on Aruba is the Butterfly Farm |
 |
| Welcome to the Farm |
 |
| Wish I knew the name of all these butterflies. They are kept in a very large screened-in area. |
 |
| They may land right on you. |
 |
| They enjoy dining on fruit |
 |
| They also move pollen around like bees |
 |
| These blue ones are hard to capture. Not a perfect focus here, but close. |
 |
| Is the color of the butterfly and the flower just a coincidental match? |
 |
| Black and White |
 |
| Resting |
 |
| Monarch |
 |
| The one blue one, with wings open, is the same type of butterfly as the others with wings closed. |
 |
| One Happy Island |
Thank you for stopping by John's Island.

ReplyDeleteWOW!! WOW!!! This would be a photographers dream come true.
ReplyDeleteHi John!!! Beautiful snaps of the butterflies. It reminds me of several visits to different butterfly farms where it's always an enchanting experience. For my most latest visit, a big butterfly landed on my head and didn't want to fly away! I didn't know butterflies can be clingy :p
ReplyDeleteJust SUPERB images! Lucky you who have actually BEEn there.
ReplyDeleteNice blog you have.
Greetings from Stavanger / Norway.
