From last year, but what the heck.

Lots of pics from the State Fair yesterday, so I'll keep with the theme. This guy was on my BF's sleeve in the butterfly exhibit -- tons of good photos from there. :)

But I really liked these living statues!!! people would go up to have their photo taken with them and they would constantly change positions... all the while they were trying to lift something off the people being photographed! They stole umbrellas, hats, barrettes, etc., and would hide them only to reveal them several minutes later. :)

Party, those living statues are gorgeous! That would be hilarious seeing them do their antics to unsuspecting posers.

Beautiful photos, everyone. Love how the ethereal look of insects and butterflies has been captured. Party - no doubt the butterfly chose your BF's jacket to land on so as to appear properly color coordinated! LOL!

out riding today I found a new to me trail

and I turned around and got over the curb, and rode it. Only 1 1/2 mile long trail

Great bugs and such. Here are some that I wear.

Nicole, I love your picture. The butterfly is almost camoflauged against the flowers!

I was going to try to get pictures of some stinging caterpillars on a tree in our yard, but since it was raining most of the day I didn't get out. So instead I'll post pictures of real-life versions of Gazania jewelry.
