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.

  1. Looks like a great place to walk. I see snapping turtles once in a while here. Pretty cool creatures. The sky is beautiful and I love the scene down the road. I don't think our leaves are going to be as colorful as other years either.
    So nice to see a longer post from you. 🙂
