Southlake Kiwanis Butterfly Festival

Today I went down to Southlake to check out the Kiwanis Club's Annual Butterfly Festival. It was a rainy day and inside the tent it was a bit dark, but I managed to get a few shots. Their festival is going until tomorrow evening when they will release the butterflies. It was interesting, there were some flowering plants and to lure the butterflies they had pieces of watermelon that you could attach to a stick. When we were leaving we noticed a lady selling butterfly specimens and you could purchase Painted Lady caterpillars that you raise to butterflies. So, we decided to give it a try. I will keep you posted on their progress. Hopefully it works out alright. Here are a couple of shots, more can be seen here: http://colgdrew.redbubble.com
