Can you believe how fast the days and month are flying by? I am sharing some images from our walk at the local nature center called Hashawha. I have done various post on our walks at this park you can check out other post listed on the tags and side bar.
There are two Eastern Bluebirds in the photo below, can you find them?
The American Crow below was talking or fussing about something.
There were some pretty water lilies in one of the three ponds at Hashawha Nature Center.
One spot along the trail was filled with pretty Bee Balm.
Next to the Bee Balm were these pretty purple flowers. Not sure of their id.
One of the three ponds.
Just a guess, this is a Blue Dasher?
Slider turtles were plentiful. This one was just a baby.
Torn but still pretty Great Spangled Fritillary butterfly on the milkweed?
Just guessing this is a Window Skimmer?
I hope to see you there. Thanks to the host today. Enjoy your day and new week.
Fotografias fantásticas e de grande beleza.
...fabulous, the time sure flies by!
Great series of images. I guess that abundance is at its greatest right now. It won’t be long before some species prepare for migration.
I love these. That turtle is funny all covered in moss.
Lovely shots. I had to look twice to see the two bluebirds!
Such beautiful nature photos, Eileen! I love all the flowers. The bluebirds were well hidden. Happy Monday!
Yes, found both bluebirds. That one was really hiding!!
These are fabulous pics, Eileen! The bluebirds look puffed up as if they were cold but I'm sure they aren't with the heat everyone is having!
The water lilies are so pretty and we love seeing turtles. Enjoy your week! Hugs!
I see myself on the jetty by the pond with a book in hand. What a beautiful setting.
And I had thought once a butterfly lost part of a wing, it was not able to continue to fly and eat. So glad I am wrong.Found the birds, what a view they must have up there.
Beautiful photos! The purple flowers on the left side looks like a sort of Anemone hupensis. Here we call it Autumn Anemone.
Happy Monday, and enjoy your new week!
Beautiful flowers and insect pics!
The Birds to Dragonflies, they are wonderful. Eileen, have a beautiful week.
The crow is my favourite!
Another great nature hike through your lens! I don't have a dragonfly field guide must get one! Milkweed is one of my very favorite wild plants so beneficial to wildlife of all kinds.
Eu adorei a fotos. Um olhar magnífico de sua lente.
That turtle has quite a bit of moss on its back - great camouflage!!! And I love the bee balm ... great attractant for butterflies. Happy to see the milkweed ... bring on the Monarchs! Have a wonderful week!
Loved your photos. It looks a pretty area loaded with nature.
Beautiful and natural trail to walk around and I liked all the photos you captured along the walk. I loved the simple natural environment and critters out there. Interesting name of flies!
These are so beautiful, Eileen! I want to stand on that dock and just look at everything.
I appreciate your comment on my post about the Trump and Putin meeting. I hope those things are not true. It has been a long time since I've believed what we are told.
All wonderful photos, Eileen ~ favorite is the bluebirds and little turtle!
the days and months indeed fly like a spear!
I'm actually all a bit too fast!
Beautiful pictures of the birds and flowers.
You will find your last photo of the dragonfly very beautiful! I have never seen such a dragonfly.
Unfortunately, we do not have these beautiful dragonflies in the Netherlands.
Wow, that is really nice !
What lovely photos! Love the dragonfly, the butterfly, and the turtle. Hope you have a great week.
As always, your posts in nature make me want to go out, so envious of your walks and treks. That turtle is still a baby you said, yet it already has lots of algae at its back. Or maybe he just got it from coming up from the water.
Hello. I love this varied walk. There are water, birds, dragonflies, butterfly, turtle, and flowers. Thank you very much for that. Greetings and I wish you a nice day.
Great photos Eileen . . .
Bluebirds . . . I would love seeing them here . . .
My Bee Balm has popped up:all over . . .
The photo of the pond -- such a peaceful place to be, I can tell! Your photos are so crisp and clear and appealing!
