Texas Rain Forest

2008.04.17
Instead of my having surgery this day (long story), we went to the rain forest pyramid at Moody Gardens.

Bougainvillea on the way in - one of the world's most spectacular flowers.

He's so cute!

Down by the river in the itty bitty pool....

More tropical foliage

Blue macaws

Scarlet ibis fly-in

Orchid beauty

Malayan chevrotain (mouse deer)

Little green frog

No problem with these guys moving too fast for the shot

Baby sloth

Anaconda

Ruby-throated hummingbird - I was thrilled to see him.

Lonesome gull

Pelican flyover

Whoa, thought it was a nightmare,
Lo, its all so true,
They told me, dont go walkin slow
cause devils on the loose.

Better run through the jungle,
Better run through the jungle,
Better run through the jungle,
Woa, dont look back to see.


Run Through the Jungle, Creedence Clearwater Revival
