The girls and I enjoyed a very pleasant walk to a normally busy lake yesterday. We got off to any early start so had the place to ourselves for about an hour. There are still a few wildflowers and the huckleberries are getting ripe. Willow and Sky and I all had little treats along the trail. It was really lovely.
And clearly, I have a favorite rock. And a favorite Spotted Sandpiper too.
Family photo sessions are always special, especially with my favorite loons. I hope to see them again soon.
I enjoyed watching this Ring-necked Duck trying to herd her ducklings while I sat quietly in my kayak.
I know nothing about these insects except that they are so beautiful.
On a recent camping trip, this Eastern Kingbird was very tolerant of me in my kayak and kindly posed for me most days. Kingbirds are flycatchers, catching their meals on the wing. They patiently wait on a good perch til they see a juicy morsel in range.
