Odds and ends of the past week......

I seem to have a lot of left-over shots that I might as well post.

I'm surprised at how many wildflowers are still blooming.  I wish I knew the names of more of them.  I love all the yellow daisy-like flowers and here they were mixed into this grass that looks like a cloud of pink when you see a field of it. I love how it looks, but it is hard to show it in a photo.  It looks better in the bright sunlight.

Looking across one of the Blue Grass lakes at a field of the yellow flowers.

All along the gravel road there were Morning Glories in a mixture of colors....deep purple, light purple.....

......a blueish  shade....

...and a few pink that were well hidden in the weeds!

Chicory

The Killdeer were hanging out with the Horned Larks, but I forgot to post them :-)

I like their red eyes and black and white bands.

Another day, another place.....this time at the wetlands near dusk.  A heron who flew away soon after I arrived.

A Red-Shouldered Hawk sitting high and watching.....

....all the Tree Swallows gathered here (who were watching him very closely, too)

They didn't seem very concerned, but they weren't swooping around much either.

The path across the meadow at the wetlands is still full of flowers, but it was cool and late in the day and there weren't any butterflies moving around.  Where do butterflies go at night?

Lots of bugs on the Goldenrod.

Just as I was leaving a saw a group of Robins.  Some of them were in the Sumac eating the seeds.  I didn't know they ate them, so this was new behavior for me to learn.
