A lovely sunrise to start the day
One of the 5 snapping turtles we saw on our walk around Hethwood Pond
Woolly Bear Caterpillar - First seen this year.
These little guys turn into Isabella Tiger Moths.
A view along Plantation Road. You can see a bit of fall in the trees. I'm afraid that due to our dry conditions this year our leaves may not be as pretty as most autumns here.
During our walk today we saw:
5 snapping turtles
3 or more painted turtles
Ducks on the pond and Geese flying over the pond
A hummingbird near the path where there is an abundance of jewelweed
A Woolly Bear Caterpillar - aka Woolly Worm
Multiple Squirrels, Cardinals, and I heard several Blue Jays
We walked 1.6 miles
After our walk we had coffee at a spot where we see a bit of wildlife and saw a groundhog and a feral cat. The groundhog and cat were very close to each other and didn't seem to be bothered by each other at all.

Crown of Thorns
Crown of Thorns is a deciduous, herbaceous, perennial shrub with bright green leaves and greenish flowers. The flowers are enclosed within long-lasting and bright bracts of red or yellow. The plant is loose in form, spiny and irregularly shaped, with thick, black spines and its historic presence in the Middle East led to the belief by some that the stems of this plant had been used in Christ's crown of thorns, hence the common name. In its country of origin (Madagascar) the plant will grow to 5 or 6 feet tall; however, in the United States, it typically grows to 3 feet, or 2 feet when grown as a houseplant.
