Afraid to wait for another Bushfire to prevent us to walk there, we decided to go to Koondoola Bush for a walk. John said this isn't a good time of year to see wildflowers, but it seems there is ALWAYS something different and amazing to see.

Mid 80's temperatures and low humidity led Laura and I outdoors. Since I had an errand in the area, we decided to hike the trail at the airplane park. We call it the airplane park, but it's really an Aviation Observation Park (for plane-spotting enthusiasts) that happens to be connected to the Baltimore Annapolis Trail.

We got to see some different examples of nature there, at least different from our other favorite walking spots.
It was good ... Read More

Today, Laura and I decided to visit the Patuxent Wildlife Refuge. I had seen the signs for it many times while traveling on 295 going to Washington D.C., but had never visited it.
We decided to take the Cash Lake Trail, which once we started we had to back up and take a detour.

No kidding, last night I dreamed I was in a garden with giant butterflies. Many of them.
They weren't scary to me, even though their size as as large as the treetops, they were beautiful, with their details and markings even more vivid at this size.
The frustration in the dream (isn't there always one?) is that I was struggling with my camera to get it to work to take their photos.
So as an exercise in fun (I don't really believe in ... Read More
Linda and George gave me a book on buterflies that I have already found useful for identifying butterflies. I tooks some photos in October of butterflies and now I know what kind they are!

Usually I am a steady blogger, but I think I slowed down the pace of late. In fact, even my weekend seemed slow of pace...and you know what, I enjoyed and needed that. My emotions and life needed a break from the hassles of our troubling headlines.
Also, Tony, my 'star quality' reader kinda told me off yesterday for making my blog too political. So, I thought an entry about my weekend would be even another nice change of pace. :)
After all, ... Read More
