The 2010 Iowa State Fair is well underway! This 11-day annual event is a highlight in our summer outings. One of the many things we like to do is let the kids run through the tunnel in the middle of the gardens outside the Ag building. While the kids were running round-and-round, I was taking in all of the beautiful flowers. Then I saw the butterfly, above. Can you imagine his delight in finding this sea of nectar? He flittered from blossom to blossom as if he'd found gold. And for a moment I was so focused on this awesome site that I didn't even hear the thousands of people around me and all of the usual noises of the fair.
