Early August

Under an overcast sky

It was a lazy early August day perfect for picnicking in the grassy field, at least these cattle thought so,

 What the cattle might see if they'd looked up

Largest square: sparrow in amongst the white sweet clover. Moving clockwise: Canada thistles still blooming in some places, tough much of it has gone to seed; Choke cherries; ripening Virginiia creeper berries; dogwood berries; and burdock in flower.

Little one trying to keep up with the big guys

Scavenger Hunt/ Critters

 1. Two: One mallard plus one reflection equals two mallards, right?

This week I'm combining Critters with a Scavenger Hunt because it works...sort of.

2. Animal: painted turtle

These  guys are interesting even when they are doing nothing more than sitting on a log!

3. Handwriting: My handwriting

I couldn't get any critters to write anything for me this week! Sheesh!!

4. Frozen

Not exactly "frozen" but it sure didn't appear to move a muscle while I was taking its photo.

5. Nap time

I don't think the mallard knew I was there...or even cared.  Zzzzzz.
