Buckeye Butterfly on Mountain Mint.

 Cicada on our deck rail.  They are the high pitched, tree-top noise makers on hot August days.

 We had heard that there was a small museum in  downtown Blue Earth Mn called the Southern Minnesota Museum of Natural History.  So off on a road trip we went not knowing what to expect and found a fabulous  collection of one mans finds.  Dinosaur fossils, dinosaur tracks, dinosaur eggs, giant bugs, fossil plants, minerals, and more.  A world class collection in Blue Earth Minnesota!   They have a web site.  The collector will also give you a tour of his finds.  A MUST SEE FOR THE CURIOUS OF MIND!
