I am linking up with Wild & Wonderful & Mosaic Monday & Our World Tuesday
These are some of the scenes we saw during last weekend's walk at the local Hashawha Nature Center. This park is one of our favorites for the birds and wildlife and for the hiking trails..
For my first entry for Blogger's Sunday Walk , I am sharing part of the wooded trail, a scene during our hike at the nature center. July 13 is the first of Blogger's Sunday walk. The next walk will be October 26, 2014. I hope you can join on and walk..
This park is known for seeing the Baltimore Orioles in the summer. These are some juvenile or possibly the female Baltimore Orioles..
Bee Balm is one of my favorite plants. It is great for attracting the hummingbirds.
The butterflies seem to be attracted to all the muddy spots on the trail..
More birds seen at the nature center: Mallards, Red tailed Hawks in the raptor center, Barn Swallows, Kingfisher and Downy woodpecker.
I like the reflection of these berries in the pond, the hiking trail, another pond, tiger daylily, roses.
Another scene for my Blogger's Sunday walk post...the lily pads are thick on this section of the lake..
The larger lake is filled with lily pads and dragonflies.. It was a pretty day for a hike, cool temps and beautiful sunny skies. I am always happy to see you visit my post and photos. Thanks for stopping by and for the comments.
Join in on the fun and for more wonderful photos please visit Blogger's Sunday Walk and Mosaic Monday and more from Our World Tuesday

I love the dragonflies...
I have no links for BSW, but paste your URL in the comment window, and I make a selected post when I come home from holiday next week.
Hope it is OK!
Glad you joined BSW ;:OD)
The name of this place reminds me of the Indian names used so much here in Florida. LOVE your banner at the top of your blog! It's so bright and beautiful! Enjoy your afternoon my friend! Hugs!
You too visit beautiful spots and have such a good eye with your camera. It looks like a wonderful place to walk.
That's a beautiful place! Great for photographs!
What a nice place to walk. Love the photos you have shared. Have a nice week.
My goodness look at all those beautiful dragonflies. It looks as though you had a lovely walk Eileen.
That's a nice place. A lot to see !
Through these roads one never get tired of walking.

Lovely photos! I love the flowers and the birds and the dragonflies!
Looks like a wonderful place for a hike . . .
Wonder why the butterflies hover around the mud?
Just a beauty, the place that you were in, was an ideal. Thanks Eileen.
beautiful blooms and butterflies. :)
What a wonderful place for your hike and photography talents, Eileen!...:)JP
Eileen,
You always manage to take us on such beautiful walks with you and today is no exception! What a gorgeous landscape this is; love the berries' reflection in the water - pure inspiration for any artist! The birds and butterflies are a bonus!
Have a nice week!

Enjoyed your presentation...I too am participating in the Bloggers Summer Walk and hope you can visit me...I left my link in the comment section of our host. Happy summer♪
Like others, I enjoy your sharing your walks.
I have a crazy little chipmonk that has been running around my courtyard all afternoon and I can't get one decent pic. LOL
Have a great week.
Lovely place you visited. Love the Dragon fly and Butterflies! Beautiful scenery.
i'm on my way to hike with you.
A beautiful place for a walk with lots of critters.
I'm always inquisitive about names - was there a sign there saying where the name 'Hashawha' came from?
What a lovely walk, Eileen. The one with the section of boardwalk takes me back to Norway where I lived for 18 months when I was much younger - we just don't have that same green lushness here in quite the same way.
These are some great shares from your walk. What lovely creatures and scenery!
Nice place for a walk. Looks like you saw all kinds of interesting things.
I love all the shade you have along your walk and all the wonderful flowers, birds and creatures that you see!
I miss Baltimore Orioles. We don't have them here in OR, and I used to love them growing up in Wis. Those nests of theirs, and their song.:)
What a wonderful place for a walk. There is so much of nature's beauty to take in and enjoy!
HI Eileen! I can understand why it would be a favorite place to visit. It's a lovely place in any weather, no doubt!
You brought back treasures!

What a beautiful walk Eileen!! I'm with you - love that Bee Balm!! I've never grown it, but wish I could. I know it must have a lot of sun and most of our space is in the shade with lots of trees!!
Hi Eileen, Beautiful spot. Lots of birds, too. I sure like the Orioles. Have a fine coming week!
Beautiful pictures! What a lovely place!
I love your pretty photos...

Beautiful pictures and collages, Eileen.

A wonderful walk Eileen. Beautiful photos as always. I was very interested in the Baltimore Oriole color for the juvenile/female. Happy day to you :)
OMG!!! If this Hashawha Nature Center located close to my house, I'll be more healthier and will be able have a wonderful walk (with you)♡♡♡ Beautiful Baltimore Orioles, Bee Balm, butterflies and dragonflies♡♡♡ My husband was was REALLY attracted with these dragonflies, as we can only have common ones p;)
Sending you Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
So much nature! I love seeing all the dragonflies at this time of year.
Wonderful place to hike! So much to see and enjoy. I LOVE all the dragonfly photos.
Lovely sunny shots Eileen. It looks like a lovely spot for a wildlife walk and I'm mightily impressed with your dragonfly photos and how you made them keep still while clicking away. Have a great week.
This is a lovely place Eileen, with so many beautiful flowers, and creatures to see and appreciate. Strange seeing the butterflies in the mud,... perhaps it was cooler there! Excellent shots!:)
How pretty it is there and your photos as always capture everything beautifully! :)
I think that dragonflies are fairies!!
I enjoyed your post and all your photos!
Have a great week!
What wonderful captures, Eileen!! I love them all and what a great place to spend time!! Thanks so much for sharing the fun and the beauty!!
It looks like a very beautiful place for a walk and very well-maintained too. I especially like the Orioles.
What a beautiful place and wonderful photography of so many of nature's gems for OWT ~ thanks, ^_^

Lovely images. Especially like the butterflies.
Nice photos from an adventurous place!
So glad to see your walk turned into such a fruitful one with so many different things to see. Beautiful photos, Eileen!
Wow.. What a beautiful place, and so much to capture on the way. Thank you for sharing. I would love to join you at this trail irl. If only I could.. :D
nature's best at this park. i really like the orioles. i didn't realize they are yellow; you know i'm just going by the uni colors of the baseball team so i know orioles are orange, right?
A beautiful place, I can see why it's a favorite. Lovely, green photos!
Wonderful place to walk and explore. Great shots of the dragonflies and birds.
What a nice place to hike. I'm intrigued by the wings of the brownish butterfly in the upper right of the collage. They are an interesting shape.
The blooms are so pretty and the butterflies are beautiful!! An awesome collection of images from your walk!!
What a great place for a walk.
How very idyllic! Lovely shots.
Wonderful photo series!
Those orioles are a sight worth seeing. Such colourful birds as well as all the other wonderful sights on your walk. Have a good week.
Oh that's bee balm. I see that along the sides of the road here but didn't know what it was. So very pretty.
Is it just me or are you more than a bit fortunate with your finds? You have some wonderful shots here of species I would be ecstatic to discover :) That Baltimore Oriole is just gorgeous!
I would not have mind to accompany you. :)
thank you for answering my my questions about the red blooms. we were out this weekend in the Smokey Mtns. just got back from them last night. just a 3 day quick trip. & saw folks taking those red blooms every where. & i thought they were gorgeous too. took several shots of them. bee balm. i will have to look that up to see more info. we heard hummingbirds buzzing every where. they are such fast creatures.
what a fun post. love the wooden walkway. great hike i bet. ( :
Marvelous photos of the nature around you. So beautiful is each of them !
Best regards, Synnöve
Thanks for being our guide:) I know this is a place you go often, but each time you have a different set of photos. I like the idea behind it and it makes sense. Each of us has a spot we regularly visit. Happy birding! Migration is happening already!!!
Beautiful place and beautiful photos! Love your collages!
Beautiful place! I love the butterflies and the dragonflies.
What nicely done with these different pictures. Butterflies, dragonflies, prachgie yellow bird, ducks, flowers and nature itself. Just beautiful :-)
My in-laws lived on Stone Rd, a couple of miles from Hashawha. I went down there often, even before it was fully developed. A lovely place. More people from Carroll Co should visit.
What a beautiful place! I've seen Bee Balm in Florida too!
