Animals, Fishes, Lizards, Snakes.... Moody Gardens, Galveston TX

There are several layers to the gardens. Tom and I started from the top walk way and worked our way down. The butterfly enclosure was the only disappointment... no butterflies. There are different groupings of plants and where possible critters to represents different geographical regions. There are also static displays with information on cultures, indigenous people, sound effects... we spent a good two hours going through the exhibits and I took over 200 photos. Tom even got out his new I phone and took pictures.
