We visited the Butterfly Garden which is part of the Natural Museum within the University of Florida (home of the Gators!), in Gainesville. Hundreds of butterflies are housed in a vivarium (huge enclosed space with sun & air moving through special screens & gorgeous gardens with streams/waterfalls flowing through). If you sit still they land on you to rest & make you feel wonderful. Most peaceful experience ever!!

With deepest respect to The Deep South that we just love, there are certain features that do create its sugared charm. Here are but a few.

Watch as the show sets up and then dismantles. Please open pictures and note comments to follow the set up process.... truly an orchestration!!

This was so amazing.....every sense is activated as you travel along....everyone should see NY from the perspective of the water.....take a ferry, tour boat or whatever.....just pick a sunny day

I LOVED the bridges......hard to pick a favorite but the Brooklyn Bridge is set as the highlighter

Overwhelming immensity of shapes - many you know

There are a few notes on some pictures to point out specifics but overall it was the beauty I found in industry or the sense of flow with changing icons

Where we stayed for 9 days. Great spot & we'll go back - safe, easy commute to NYC, good people.

Sitting pretty at the head of Long Island Sound......a place any real Nova Scotian would love
