Another trip in the woods...

As I mentioned in an earlier blogpost, we took a trip a few days ago in the woods.

When we went there, we saw so many things I wanted to photograph, so I did. And I kept them for future posts.

So, today I thought I would share some more shots I got out on our trip.

When we first pulled up beside this pond, I looked across it and saw EIGHT big turtles on a log, sunning themselves! They were spread out, so I could only photograph a few at a time on the log:

Here is a closer look at one of them:

Here are the ones on the other half of the log:

And this single one, on another log!:





This is what we commonly refer to as a "picker bush" because of its thorns. But up close, it is kind of pretty. Look at the spider web tangled up in it:

This is a little river we saw out in the middle of the woods:

And a frog I saw in the middle of the lily pads:

I went to take a picture of the daisy and a BIG BUG landed on it!:

And, as we drove down a wood's road, we saw this adorable cabin (in the middle of nowhere!):

Here is a closeup of the horns over the door! I think they are moose horns:

Here is a beautiful butterfly I saw (or is it a moth, Ratty?):

We call this a "devil's paintbrush"...they are considered weeds to most people...but look how pretty it is up close:

Here, is another shot of some. I love the deep orange colors of them:

We saw some more wildlife both on that trip and on the lake, so I will be posting more in the next week or so....
