Swallow Hollow

We took a day trip to Alabama Swaps and walked the board walks at Swallow Hollow. It was such a beautiful day. The temperatures got up there but after a long winter it was welcomed. We didn't see much wildlife but the scenery was good. Here are a few clicks from todays trip.

There is an authentic Himalayan tea house built in the 1800's and reconstructed inside the Bird Kingdom. The walls are ornately hand carved in wood. This picture shows one of the walls. Click on image to enlarge to see all the detail.

Fun Photos

We took a quick trip over the border and went to The Bird Kingdom for some fun pictures. They now have reptiles and tropical birds. Some are in cages and some fly free and that makes it a great place to practice and take fun shots of exotic birds in their own environment. A great place to enjoy.

Winter Wonderland

Every year millions of tourists leave the Niagara area when summer is over. They miss out on a most spectacular site. The ice trees of Goat Island are a marvel to see.
