Saturday's Critters # 398

 When we went for a drive on Wednesday, we drove around 
Lake of the Lilies
I didn't see much, actually the wildflowers were the best part of the circle around.
But there were a few birds I could see from the car,
and I was able to get a few snaps, although none of them great!


Brown Eyed Susan and Queen Anns Lace



A Mockingbird

Female Red-Winged Black Bird

All of the Swans are back in the lake, funny to see them swimming in this straight line.


And I got these terrible pictures of the 
Common Sandpiper
Still, it was fun to watch it running around the shoreline,
 I dreamt of the day I would be doing that as well.



Nature is the greatest place to recharge and heal!

    Really lovely photos. We have Queen Annes Lace and some sort of purple flower as our wildflowers along the roads. I picked some the other day and they looked so pretty in a vase on my counter. What a treat to see so many swans all together. thanks

    So good to hear you are getting out, even though you may not be able to get out of the car, just getting out and seeing it all has got to be so wonderful. The wildflowers are just beautiful and you did great with the birds too, I pray everyday that you will be out there walking among them very soon!

    Those blossoms are gorgeous. And the swans are lined up for some reason. They like to have a chat while they wait. That sandpiper is a new one for me. Great post!
