I scurried out late Wednesday April 22nd and fought the mosquitoes yet again.  Still, all was lovely.

Here is what I saw.

Flowers EVERYWHERE!

And I wish I could send you the heavenly smell I inhaled!  The honeysuckle is everywhere and blooming like mad.

Okay, bonus points for all who can spot the butterfly!

1, 2, 3…….GO.

Tricky little winged creatures.

Do you have spittle bugs?  We do and they leave little white blobs all over the place, as seen below in a patch of ferns.

These white flowers, they smell almost as good as the honeysuckle.

The bees loved them too.

Here is the mosquito nursery.  Pretty isn’t it?

Dang swamp.

Dragonflies like it though.

So do thistles…..

Old rotten logs covered in mushrooms are right at home here as well.

Note the reflection.

Total nature awesomeness.

And also time for me to head home!  Clouds were getting a little dark!

Thanks for walking with me today!

Love ya’!
