Garden Pinks

 Bee balm lives up to its name.
 Cone flowers are just as attractive to the bees.
 
 
 
 
 Just another pink petunia.
 Check out Today's Flowers #149 for more beautiful blooms.

Fathers and Sons

Fathers and sons, 2x2 ... two fathers and two sons
Happy Father's Day

Treasures From the Marsh


This was a field trip with the third grade to Huntley Meadows Park.  (They do not make shock absorbers for school buses.)  All the photos are from the treasure hunt of things to find.  They were all taken by EC, one of my 9 year old twins, both on the trip, but only one had the camera
 
First up:  poison ivy.  Avoid at all times!
Mosses.
Ferns
Don't know this one.  Something "weeping".
Cat tails
Sweet gum tree.
Wild life:  turtles
Many green frogs
A muskrat at breakfast.
EC was up in the observation tower when he saw an eagle catching his breakfast and got these shots off.
 
A snake was on the list.  I was happy not to find a snake.
More natural wonders from around the world can be seen  on Today's Flowers # 148.
