Neon sign outside a bar -- not Billy Bob's, which is a separate night club and dance hall nearby -- in the Stockyards District of Fort Worth. The neighborhood celebrates a former livestock market that operated under various owners from 1866. Today the Stockyards consist of mainly entertainment and shopping venues that capitalize on the "Cowtown" image of Fort Worth. They are the last standing stockyards in the United States.

A young burrowing owl has found a haven — conviently provided in a piece of storm pipe at the Phoenix Zoo in Phoenix, Arizona. This species, which favors deserts and grasslands, is adept on the ground but does fly. It favors land operations in fall and winter, during breeding and chick-raising seasons. Opened in 1962, the Phoenix Zoo is the largest privately owned, nonprofit zoo in the United States. The zoo was founded by Robert Maytag, a member of the family that owned a famous appliance company. It displays more than 1,400 animals and contains 2.5 miles of walking trails through four main themed areas. Original image from Carol M. Highsmith’s America, Library of Congress collection.

Formations in the "Cave Without a Name," located near Boerne in Kendall County, Texas. It has been commercially operated as a show cave and open for public tours since 1939. The cave went largely unnoticed again until the 1920s during the era of Prohibition when a small moonshine distillery was installed in the uppermost cavern. It again fell into obscurity until three local farm children rediscovered the sinkhole in 1935. The show cave received its name after its official opening in 1939, when a young boy suggested that the cave "was too beautiful to have a name." Original image from Carol M. Highsmith’s America, Library of Congress collection.
