Happy Thankful Thursday!
Go away Hurricane Florence! I hope everyone who is in the path of Hurricane Florence stays safe .
These are images from our walk to our lake on Labor Day Sept 3rd. It was a pretty sky day with puffy white clouds but hot and humid. I heard a few birds along our walk, a few Eastern Wood Pewees, White-breasted Nuthatches, Pine Warbler and the knocking of some woodpecker all heard but not seen.
It was a pretty sky day, white puffy clouds here and there.
Butterflies were the Monarch and various Swallowtail butterflies.
Just before the trail ended at the lake we saw one tree with red leaves.
One lone fishing boat on the lake.
Swallowtail Butterfly
There was one red leaf tree on the edge of the lake.
I am thankful to live so close to the lake, just a walk away.
I am always thankful for all your visits and comments.
Thank you Michelle for hosting Thankful Thursday.

ReplyDeleteMonarchs seem to have had a good year. Thousands have been moving south through here. As for Florence, stay safe. I suspect that both of us are going to experience residual effects of this monster storm.
