I had errands to do this morning so off I went...Threw the camera in the car and on the way back stopped at my local lake and had a soothing relaxing walk around, IT was my park...no one was around but me and a few other Junkies....we loved every minute of it...
The sunny area played host to these awesome plants
This Buckeye came out to pump up his wings...
Then more awesome plants caught my eye and one made my mouth water!
This 12 spot (I think?) posed so well for me, he deserves a big cameo shot all on his own-
This shy fellow was headed for the tree top
I chased this dude around for a while and the best shot I got of him, is this one--- he hops from limb to limb and stays pretty well hidden although he needed to get a curious look at me, it's the Prothonotary Warbler. I hope to get something better of this awesome looking bird before summer is over--

The Eastern Kingbird was there again and I watched as he flew out over the water
The Eastern Kingbird was there again and I watched as he flew out over the water
And hovered like an osprey only close to the surface, he would swoop and scoop something off the water...must be something delicious cause he kept doing it over and over...
AND the Great Blue Heron was wading in belly deep-he looks determined dont you think?
We all got our Nature Fix~
PEACE
Awesome, I don't know where to begin! I love the collages and all the flowers... That shot of the 12 spot is beautiful! I hear ya on the twigs! Your Live Traffic Feed is crazy... I just looked over and there I was, a visitor from Portland, Oregon. I might need that!
