Nancy Forrester's Secret Garden

518 Simonton Street, Key West, Florida

http://www.nancyforrester.com/garden.html

Nancy Forrester and her favorite cockatoo. Nancy's Secret Garden was a little to secret, the donations she used to pay for the property and expenses were not enough and she had to let go of a lot of her property. Now she concentrates on rescuing Cockatoo's, Parrots, and other exotic birds that have been neglected, unwanted or sick. She finds good homes for the birds.

A lot to photograph in Key West;

Fort Jefferson & The Dry Tortugas

Sunsets at Mallory Square

Or Bahia Honda Key State Park and the old 7 mile bridge is worth the one hour drive drive north.

For reasonably priced food try Schooner Wharf, 202 Williams St ( by the marina ). Local bands , hand rolled cigars.

Kellys Caribbean Bar and Grill, 301 Whitehead Street

Or you could just go to the Bar's and drink.....but you could do that anywhere.

Any human and animal interaction captures a great deal of interrest. This caught mine.

"all right, you can photograph her, but be aware that i'm watching you! she's all i have!!" ; ) beautiful eye-contact with the bird, ken! he's definitely the star of your shot! i always love to look a cockatoo in his gentle, cool and mischievous eye! intelligent and lovable little demons, that's what they are! and this one here seems to have found his safe haven at nancy forrester's secret garden! beautiful dof, nice correspondence between the red in his crest and the red in her scrunchie! ; ) greetings, sabine.
