Birds of paradise...

"The Birds of the Bloedel"



While in Vancouver we went to the Bloedel Conservatory in Queen Elizabeth Park.  It was a good place to visit on an otherwise rainy day!!

But first we stopped for lunch at the VanDusen Gardens - rainy weather meant colourful umbrellas instead of wandering around the gardens!

There was a wonderful variety of intriguing and colourful plants at the conservatory but here I've included a parade of birds.  Fascinating in their calmness, fierce in their 'shrieks' [who knows what makes them do this!] and beautifully exquisite in their colours - yes, even the grey bird with the incredibly wrinkly feather pattern...
