Enjoy your vacation, Melanie! I was in town for a plant swap on Saturday and spotted something interesting on my way there, so later I stopped on my way home to investigate. Parked in a parking lot in front of San Antonio's new aquarium was this trailer hooked up to a vehicle. The older guy fiddling with the hitch said he raises the butterflies, so I asked him if I could go in and look around, happened to have my camera in the car, so asked if I could take that also. He said it was okay, and asked if I'd like to spray some water from the green bottle inside, because it was a bit hot. So I did! I discovered that the Monarch cats were in two separate places, first in a butterfly tent enclosure and also in a separate section at the far side of the trailer that had a screened door. And the adult Monarchs were free inside the trailer.

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
