Huff Park 

August 11, 2014






 
I'm not sure pictures will do this place justice---it was really beautiful.

 

Milkweed, and see the bloom bud?  I know my friend from the "L" family knows how much I like Milkweeds!  2 of the transplants I moved into our IN home came back this year; I was so excited.  These are the plants that Monarch butterflies eat and lay their eggs on, so they are special plants.

Dd found this Preying Mantis for me to see!

I just loved these plant leaves---can you see the lines/veins on the plant?  It was even more interesting up close/ in person.

We had to see what the big fuss was about on the trails on this part---and were rebels and walked around the "Danger" signs.  I don't think they needed to put such signs up for mud and water on the walkways.  We went as far as we wanted and enjoyed the trail.

This picture reminds me of the years I spent living in Florida.

There was sign of deer everywhere.  The woman we chatted with on the trail had just seen a Doe and her two babies and told us where to look, but they were gone when we got there.

This area has a lot of these pretty thistle plants.

This park was teeming with bees, bees, bees!
