Near Fossil Rim is Dinosaur Valley State Park. This is where I got this photo of miss caterpillar climbing a blue bonnet flower. The blue bonnets were a little past their prime - but I don't think it bothered miss caterpillar and I sure got a close up view. I cropped this photo a little so you could see her shiny face.
To go with the Texas state flower I have a picture of the Texas state bird - The mockingbird. I've always liked mockingbirds - but usually it is one or two. We saw them everywhere. This bird had about 5 other birds nearby and I almost got sick of hearing their constant singing! I felt like I was at a mockingbird poetry slam! The winner gets a mate - oh, baby!
My husband's family is very nice - how could they not be because my husband is very nice. I am however glad to be home. I'm not a good traveler - I get unbalanced and unfortunately, I came down with a cold upon returning home. Ack! Hence my slow time back into the groove of blogging.......
