Bird Paradise

Well, if April 23 to June 11 is two weeks, then I'm right on time with this post.

What happened was I took too many photographs.  Over 2,400, as it turns out.  Well, Mark took some of them, but I must admit I took most of them.  I blame my super-duper Canon PowerShot camera for being too beguilingly wonderful!  And the digital age for being too enabling of shooting everything in sight with the idea of sorting through them later.  And the place I was in, for being too wonderful with amazing photo opportunities at every turn...even though I just got a great shot of a x, y, or z, there is ANOTHER GREAT SHOT of x, y, or z, and I can't pass it up!

So here are some photos from my mystery location, which will no longer be a mystery in about two seconds.  Enjoy!
