A Walk

This year we are hatching Monarch Butterflies. We got two catterpillars earlier -- A big one and a suprise egg that hatched (!), but Mom wanted to get some more so we went down to the Rail Trail to see if we could find any.

It was a 'Prime Blogging Opportunity'..... :D

The clouds were perfect today........and the sun was at a great angle with the trees.

Of course I had to stop and take pictures of Clover.....

trying out different angles:

There were a lot of flowers PERFECT for photos........

Adrea spotted a Praying Mantis!!

(Playing around with Black & White........)

Adrea and Emily both found catterpillars!

And we ended the day with French Toast....MMmmmmm.........

Introduction to Fall

It's not technically fall yet, but it feels like summer is over!
So I took a nature walk around the yard, taking random pictures of summer.........

Sun against puffy clouds...

Bare feet, because shoes in the summer are over rated...

We have Peaches!

And Pears :)

 Clover...just because I love it. Most people think it's a weed : Then it's the best weed ever.

More Clover..

And yet more Clover:

Random cool flower I saw in the yard.

Queen Anne's Lace: One of the best flowers on earth

Buttercup

A Purple flower that I'm pretty sure is actually a weed

 I think sometimes we take things like buttercups for granted. and weeds. and clover.
 (yes, I refuse to put it the 'weed' class. even though I love weeds.)
