Creek Trail

I decided to brave the elements ( mosquitoes),yesterday afternoon and take a walk on the creek trail. I got out the "Off" and headed down the path. I hadn't been there in a while because of the high water, and then those pesky bugs! This little Green Heron didn't see me at first and I watched him for a while as he hunted.

The wild cucumber. It doesn't even look like a cucumber does it..

There is an apple tree on this trail most likely a volunteer, and there aren't very many apples this year due to the late frost we had this spring.

Looking down the trail you can see this apple tree in the middle of the picture.

On a muddy area I found this Anglewing butterfly.

I don't know what these berries are but I like the blue color, and they are all over the trails. I don't think the birds eat them.

This is the Milkweed Tiger Moth larva. I love the colors, and think it looks like little bits of cut up yarn. The moth itself is not very attractive.

I have more shots from the Creek trail, and I'll post them sometime this week-end.

Have a great Thursday all.
