Default OH NO! There are no more butterflies Part II---( and the end)

OK. So what do you do when you run out of butterflies and bugs to take shots of? ----Well, you go in the gift shop and take more pics there. Sadly, at least for me, these are the last pics of the photo op that I took at the Cockrell Butterfly Center on Saturday. Hmmm! Let's see. Where will I go this weekend?

I just had to take one more shot of the little blue frogs. They were the most amazing things I ever saw --- and yes, they are really this blue---

More Blue Frogs

In the gift shop I saw these and had to snap a shot. I'm not sure what they were, seed pods of some kind I'd guess. The girl at the counter was too busy for me to ask. They were the size of baseballs. I wish that I had zoomed in closer---

What are they

And this shot was just because I loved the colors. No, it's not rock candy, tho close. It was just rocks that you could by by the pound (or less if wanted). It's actually better viewed in the larger size---

Rocks

And as I left the building I saw this lone little fellow outside and couldn't resist one last shot---

Yellow flower

I hope no one got tired of my journey thru the center. Comments are always appreciated. Thanks for looking.

The blue frogs were worth seeing again. I love the colored rocks. Very interesting shot.
