I am linking up with Mosaic Monday and Our World Tuesday
I am sharing last weekend's walk at the Howard County Conservancy. The Conservancy is a non-profit environmental education center.. They have two locations we visited the Mt. Pleasant Farm located in Woodstock. Md.
Mt Pleasant is 232 acres of rolling hills, home to 140 birds and other wildlife. There are the historic buildings like the farmhouse, barns, hen house and other outbuildings.
This cute garden decoration..included an Oriole fan... Go Orioles!!!!
We walked around the community veggie and flower garden, lots of birds and butterflies hanging around the gardens..The community garden is fenced in, to protect the gardens from the deer. I took these shots thru the fence..
I loved this owl carving.. There are trails for hiking and monthly events for the whole family to enjoy.
I will share more from the Conservancy and the gardens which was nice to see the butterflies and native flowers on my next post..
As always I thank you in advance for stopping by and for the nice comments.
I hope you can join in on our at Mosaic Monday and Our World Tuesday
Thanks to Judith our new host of Mosaic Monday and to the hosting group of Our World Tuesday: Arija, Gattina, Lady Fi, Sylvia, Sandy and Jennifer. I wish everyone a happy week ahead!

WHat a lovely outing - still looks very much like summer too!
Interesting place! Love the "who, me?" look on the carved owl.
that looks like a perfect day trip destination.
That looks like a wonderful place to visit with the flowers, butterflies and birds.
