Happy Monday, have a great day!
These are some images from a recent day trip to Shenandoah National Park. We enjoyed the drive on Skyline Drive, hiked on the Limberlost Trail and a walk on the Big Meadows to see the flowers and butterflies.
We saw lots of deer along the Limberlost Trail.
Eastern Bluebirds were a nice sighting at the Big Meadows.
Mushroom seen along the trail.
Monarch on the Thistle at the Big Meadows.
These flowers were seen along the side of the Skyline drive.
Thanks for your visit today! I hope you enjoyed my post and photos.

ReplyDeletebeautiful national park with nice pictures from
ReplyDeleteyou had a lot of beauty to catch your eye. it looks like your deer are tame there as well, they are probably use to all the people on the trail!! your butterfly captures are so pretty, so crisp and clear, the thistle is lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteSå nydelige bilder du viser.
ReplyDeleteJeg såg også hjort her om dagen. Det er midt i jakten så dei vil helst gå i skjul.
Du hadde ein flott søndagstur.
Ønsker deg en fin uke.

Deer are tame, and park look clean and beautiful.

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the post and the pictures and the memories! Thank you. I wish we’d had more time to spend in Shenandoah NP on our travels, but we did stop to walk a bit on Limberlost Trail because I loved the name so much I just had to.
