Weeks Highlights...

The weather has been very fall like this week...in fact it's down right chilled to bone!  I visited a few of my favorite haunts, just in time for a sit round the campfire with friends...

Lee State Park

LOL, here is some other things that caught my eye...


The Canoe Trail at Goodale is pretty Orange right now..



The Fall Yellow Bellied Sapsucker is busy



And under the tree is a Brown Headed Cowbird, looking a little bit lost..


Hope she wasn't raised by a Sapsucker! 

Back at Lee State Park, 

I bumped into an Eastern  Comma, he was up a little high but I was able to get this shot.


This is the Loop road goes through the swampy area of Lee State Park, we have a dry spell and things quickly dried up so I took the drive which is sometimes flooded and not passable. and closed...it was lined with White Heath Aster (tiny flowers) and a lot of bees and some butterflies were very interested in that..


Here's a Checker Spot..on the Asters


And a Silver Skipper was on the Blue Ageratum 



The Drive loosely follows the Lynches River and is a the flood plain



This little Eastern Phoebe with his belly a nice shade of lemon, hung out over the water for a shot..


The trees along the river seem to already have dropped their leaves...must be colder by the river..


I stopped at his Artesian Well to fill my water bottle..


Very cool and clean...the sign says the well is 100 ft down..This park has 5 still in use wells dug by the CCC in the 1930's.  

After the loop road, I went to the HQTRS area and made use of another CCC addition, this cool picnic shelter, I had a quick snack..



Then a stroll on the Boardwalk...


Yellow Rumped Warblers are back in the trees now...


Homestead Happenings this week Tulip came to visit, 


And brought her first Beau with her...


Thru the window so a little wavy....but isn't he a beauty?  I think they make a great couple...

And then the Sun went down and the Moon was huge ..



Hope your week had some highlights...


PEACE
Every day is a new Adventure.
