In the first picture we are at the south end of Key West, the Atlantic Ocean side, facing the town.  In the second picture, after walking about 14 blocks on Duval Street we are on the north side of the island with the Gulf of Mexico behind us.  We went to the Key West Butterfly Conservatory and Nature Center.  It was wonderful to walk among the hundreds of butterflies flying around and the beautiful tropical flowers and plants.  Also there was very peaceful music in the background which added to the calm experience.  The bottom picture shows a butterfly on the back of my leg.  For the most part they don't usually land on people but sometimes they are attracted to scents such as sunscreen (we use plenty). We were about to leave the conservatory and a sign on the door said "Beware of hitchhiking butterflies" so we had to pause until the butterfly was ready to take flight again. - Ann
