ILOCOS: Vigan - Butterfly Garden at Baluarte

butterfly garden at baluarte, vigan city, ilocos sur

hatching room

i dunno why these butterflies are so snob! LOL! cause its the first time i entered a butterfly garden where the butterflies dont 'entertain' their guests. they just hover over your head, fleetingly caress your shoulders and one single move and they shy away and fly as fast as they can. sigh, so i was really really careful not to make sudden movements when i was taking the pictures cause they are flighty? i dunno the word, but that's it. at least this one looks like enjoying my camera :)

ILOCOS: Vigan - Baluarte ni Singson

the mouth of one of the life-sized statues of dinosaur at baluarte ni singson in vigan city, ilocos sur.  one thing i can say is that this place is really big (about 80- hectares) and it is a mini zoo, a butterfly garden, with man-made falls, and they even have a live animal show for free. wow! chavit singson must be really really rich to afford to open this to the public for free. yup free to anyone and you can have picnic inside and the rest rooms are clean! to be able to find a nice c.r. at a free public place is very rare specially in the province so big kudos to the owner. :0
