While at Butterfly World this morning, this little Finch stood on a fence and posed for the longest time.  I knew immediately it would be my blip for today.  I have no idea why it had a feather in its mouth, but it sure looked cute.  Have a look in large. 

 It was a great morning and has provided yet another day of relief from the winter.  The flowers and butterflies were beautiful as were many of the birds in the aviaries.  There was even an insect zoo. It will take me a while to go through all the images....in the meantime,  I many never go home.
