wonders of creation...

 We saw this on the ground..we think it was a butterfly.

The beauty of God's creation never ceases to amaze!

Tika

Tika is another one of the animals on the grounds of  Banana Bank Lodge.  He was fascinating to look at...

Tika didn't stand around much... there was a dog standing near the cage and that had Tika pacing trying to figure out a way to get that poor puppy.

His eyes are so intense

Watching him roll around like a cat was fascinating... his belly is white with black spots... despite him acting like a common house cat at times I was grateful for the layer of fencing that separated him from us.

monkeys in Banana Bank

We took a field trip out to Banana Bank Lodge with Tom and June they wanted to show us all the animals and the grounds of the lodge.  Here are a few of the photos from our time out there:


Please pay attention to this sign if you visit John and Carolyn's place out in Banana Bank. We were out there a few weeks ago and just this Saturday we had a taxi driver tell us about a time when he went out there and got a little too close and yes, the monkeys do bite!

There are two spider monkeys on the property...this little guy was hard to photograph... he kept swinging around and around. It took about 15 shots to get one that was not completely blurry!

This second monkey was just chillin'. He was not really into paparazzi and would not face me no matter how long I waited for the shot.

But who could blame him when there were views like this one to take in...
