texas state fair














Have you visited the Texas State Fair yet? The weather couldn't be better! I took these photos with my cell phone so they're not quite as distinct as one would like to see....but you get the idea. Mother nature is alive and well at the Fair!


Don't miss the bird show. It's fabulous - as always! The white bird is an albino red-tailed hawk......and of course the owl is one of many others that fly unrestricted at the bird show.


And be sure to check out Skies of Butterflies at Texas Discovery Gardens. The chart we received at Skies of Butterflies indicates this was a Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly. In addition to a number of varieties of butterflies they are also featuring garden plants that attract butterflies.
