Albuquerque Rio Grande Nature Center

PSquared Art attended the 2011 Albuquerque Rio Grande Nature Center Herbfest and Arts & Crafts show this year. It was a successful show supporting the Nature Center. Many of the activities at the Herbfest included the sale of plants along with artist selling some wonderful artwork.

Also, the animal rescue group brought some beautiful raptors for everyone to see up close. These birds have had something happen to them where they cannot be let go back into the wild. I was able to get some fantastic pictures of these beautiful birds.

Black Swan

There were two white swans and two black swans at the Embassy Suites in Napa.
This guy was a hoot. The other three pretty much ignored you, but if you said….
“Her Boy, Her Boy”, he would swim right up to you and then look at you with the look -
OK… I am here FEED ME!!!
