Carol G. says,

"These photos were taken at a Garden, flower and bird exhibit in Kobe. It was a fascinating place. l have never been so close to so many exotic birds. The owl exhibit was especially fascinating. They had more than 15-20 owls in captiviity and even had a show that taught us about owls (in Japanese of course) while the owls flew very very close to us.

Have you heard of the fish that will eat dead skin cells? They are used for pedicures and manicures in some places! Melissa and I tried it. Its a little scary at first when the fish swin over quickly and start nibbling your hands! There were also beautiful fushias and begonias but I enjoyed the birds the most!"
