"In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks." John Muir


I am sharing a mish mash of photos, from our walks. 


Click on images for better viewing.



1. In our little neighborhood Prettyboy watershed is one of our favorite trails for walking. Hubby surprised me going 2 miles round trip on this walk, the trail goes even further up to 5 miles . The sun was not as bright due to the haze from smoke in our area. Birds were not singing much on this day, I did see a Gray Catbird on the trail in front of us. 







2. Below I watched a Tiger Swallowtail butterfly landing on our Lantana plant.  





On this day, Hubby, Miney and I took our walk on the NCR bike trail in Parkton.  I was surprised that the Bee Balm was still blooming. 





3. In my back yard, a female Cardinal was preening. The Black Swallowtail butterfly was seen on our Buddleia Butterfly bush. 









4. Another section of the NCR bike trail, a walk with Miney and Hubby too. 




A larger image of the Monarch Butterfly, I have not seen many of these this summer. 






5. In the yard and on my deck the butterflies and birds are enjoying our plants. 





The Ruby-throated Hummingbird sits close to the feeder, he will chase other birds away.






6. I am seeing 3 or more Ruby-throated Hummingbirds at my feeders. It seems like I am refilling the feeders more often now. I believe the babies/juveniles are now following the adults to the feeder. 









7. A Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly on the Buddleia bush. 







8. The American Goldfinches love the thistle sock, below are a male and female enjoying the seeds.
