Wordful Wednesday-tropical flowers and wildlife

I LOVE tropical flowers. One of my favorite parts of our vacation was being surrounded by lush tropical foliage…….and as a bonus……..wild animals.

There was a pair of baby ostriches that wandered free on the grounds…..3 caged tigers and a bunch of large parrots.

The kids LOVED it. I could have done without the smell. But that’s just me.
