On Thursday it was my mums birthday, so my sisters and I took her for a day out in Stratford-Upon-Avon. The town is about 45 miles North of Cheltenham, and is the home of world famous bard William Shakespeare. Stratford is a lovely place with the river Avon running through its heart, though it is over run with tourists. We had a great time visiting Stratford's Butterfly Farm, enjoying a pub lunch and strolling by the river. We also managed to avoid the morning showers! Today and tomorrow I'll show you some of the photos I took. Enjoy.

My sisters, who were petrified of the butterflies!
Come back tomorrow for some photos of Shakespeare. Have a good Saturday.

What beautiful butterflies! That blue one is really striking.
Le bleu est vraiment un papillon très beau!
Awesome pictures! Funny about your sisters being afraid of the butterflies!
I love the frogs! With a little garlic it is just delicious. ;)
Love the frogs! The larger one looks so protective of the smaller -:) And Marley, I can't imagine why your sisters would be so afraid of butterflies. Really? Well, a happy belated birthday to your Mum, anyway.
I'm so glad I checked your blog just now. I'm going to bed with the beautiful images of those gorgeous butterflies (the froggies look so cute too!). Thanks, Marley. :)
May you have a lovely Saturday too.
I too love the photo of the frogs.
Very nice photography of what appears to have been a neat day for you and family.
Gorgeous butterflies! The blue one is especially breathtaking (and reminds me that I need to go to our Natural History Museum and see their butterfly exhibit) and the tree frogs are fun. The National Geographic has a tree and dart poison frog exhibit going on at their Explorers' Hall through May 11. I took a bunch of pictures a while back and had a blast!
I'll bet your mother had a lovely time with all of you! And what great memories you will all share.
these are beautiful pictures...

I love the treefrogs picture - what gorgeous creatures!
If they are petrified of butterflies, I can only imagine their responses when they saw the chameleon. :-)
