We encountered a bit of a drizzle during our visit at Palawan Butterfly Garden or Butterfly Sanctuary.

There was a table with butterfly souvenirs along the way.

We were happy to see a garden with a bug net on top.  This got Travel Tripster Kurt and I excited to shoot for butterflies.

There was also a glass caged Palawan Peacock but they were hiding so we weren't able to capture a photo of them.

 I always appreciate bridges like these and I have no idea why.

There's also a tunnel part.

The place was quite spacious which wasn't apparent from the outside.

We explored it a bit. Then Kurt begun taking photos of butterflies and showing me how great they are so I'd be challenged.  Just to level the playing field, he had a better camera and a better lens.

Overall, we Travel Tripsters found this to be a fun experience.  We really enjoyed our visit.  It was a perfect way to practice our photography skills too.
