Another photo from the science museum in Roanoke, VA.  Nails. Yes nails. There are a number of aquariums and terrariums at this museum. Here is a photo of shrimp in one of the saltwater tanks.

It is a great place to watch airplanes taking off. But always a lot of birds in this area, and a major bike/hike trail runs through the park. Lots of activity.

While watching the airplanes, I also saw this cute girl feeding bread to the waiting ring-billed gulls.

In the caves, the nesters use long poles to collect the nests from areas where this is possible.

A sign with an image. No clue how this happened, but a fun pic.
This bit is from a wonderful science museum for kids in Roanoke, Virginia. I will have a few more pics to post later, but here are some to start with. 
An owl-eye butterfly (Caliga sp.) on the shoulder of Connor. You can't touch the butterflies in the butterfly garden, but sometimes they just do land on you.
A paper kite butterfly (Idea leuconoe I think)
Nose to the electrons. Touch this thing and it zaps toward you safely.
