It's not what you think...you're looking at the leaves of a Texas Star Hibiscus.

As part of the "Daily Photo" family, I will post a new pic of Cypress, TX every day...as long as I don't forget. Come see a small town trying to run away from the big city. (That would be Houston.) And scroll to blog end for the complete list of Daily Photo Blogs. Enjoy!

A trip to downtown Houston

DSC03310
My 9 year old son got this shot in downtown Houston. He's already got an artistic eye. What do you think?
(And to answer Lincoln's comment, I didn't crop this pic. Straight from a little boy's eye. Cool.)

One of my 3 Monarch butterflies

DSC03001
Unfortunately this guy didn't make it. I found him damaged on the ground next to the bush they had been hiding in. He stayed alive long enough for me to take some pics. I could never find where they were hiding in the bushes.
Check out this link for pics a little girl added to kidzone.

Milkweed: it does a caterpillar good

Here they are-my friendly neighborhood caterpillars

DSC02806
Who knew they pooped so much? (See last post.) We have a ton of milkweed in the yard and were graced with 3 monarch butterflies. They demolished the milkweed then disappeared into the bushes.

green woods
Nice to know that new construction isn't everywhere in Cypress. This is a nice group of trees in the Bridgeland, a new subdivision down House Hahl Rd.
