I come here often in the winter months to have a good look at nature in the cold.

On this day, I decided to see how it looks in June.

The Ladybugs were enjoying each other’s company:

A Painted lady was sunning itself:

a dog was enjoying a fetch:

some ducklings were out with mom:

this Red-wing flew right into the back of my head; no doubt to the admiration of a nearby female:

and a lone American Wigeon was out in the bay:

other birds:

Some botany:

NATURE POETRY

Oh. give us pleasure in the orchard white,
Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;
And make us happy in the happy bees,
That swarm dilating round the perfect trees. – Robert Frost

Miles Hearn
