I just came in from a slow row around the lake's perimeter. Much of what I found are just little things. A pretty flower. A tiny frog. They could easily be overlooked. But if they were, so much would be missed.
Below is a glimpse into the world I discovered on my late afternoon row.
| A pretty flower |
| A tiny frog, no bigger than my fingernail |
| Mama spider guarding her spiderlings |
| Looks like this orb weaver of the genus Neoscona will soon be dining on a dragonfly wrap |
| This green tree frog looks like he's ready to leap from one pickerelweed leaf to another |
| Blue on green - A dragonfly that didn't get caught in a spider's web |
| And finally, this gulf fritillary butterfly looks like it has settled in for the night holding tight to its pickerelweed leaf bed |
