we, Paul, Henny, Coby and Tilly, went to the Zoo in Amsterdam , ARTIS
here are 2 photos of old warehouses in Amsterdam from the time Amsterdam was a very thriving city, now made into VERY expensive apartments
I think most people like butterflies, but why don't they like the caterpillars, without them we wouldn't have butterflies !!
Ok, they are not so nice looking but they are the parents of the beautiful looking insects you'll see in a minute
This butterfly fancied Tilly, it must be her perfume or.... he just preferes blonds !
feeding time, they are well looked after .
and breeding time !
This one would not sit still for the photoghrafer !!
beautiful to look at, but when he opened his wings he was bright blue, but not for me !!
see through beauties, Gossamar wings.
first something to eat before we go to the big animals.
and then there are the monkeys, I told Paul that his brother had changed since the last time I had seen him, (old joke, but still what can you expect from an old lady ?)

A funny bird is a Pelican, His beak can hold more than his belly can !
waiting for a part in the new Harry Potter film.
The guards, nothing will escape their little eyes.
Man was he hammering those big tires, I woul'n't like to come accross him in the dark, he was a very big Lad !!

Henny those are GORGEOUS photos. I LOVE the reptiles and especially enjoyed the photo of the butterflies with gossamer wings. GORGEOUS!
Gosh Velda, I was still editing them, you are one very quick lady !
I still have to put some pics in, but I don't think I can do that after I posted It.
Thanks Velda, I love the reptiles and the butterflies best too, I felt sorry for the other animals !!
Absolutely gorgeous photos Henny and it sounds like y'all had a wonderful time. I adore the pic at the top of the page that Coby took. What a great picture.
The butterfly that is brown when its wings are closed and bright blue when it opens is called a Blue Morpho Butterfly.
