Nature Walks and The Beautiful Outdoors photos 🌿🌷🏞

[CynthieLu]

I love going on walks and if I'm lucky taking a few photos while I'm lost in nature. 🏞🌎🌺  Does anyone else enjoy that?

These are some of the views from a little walk today.

It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining but the breeze was cool. Everything smelt so fresh and we saw a few animals too. 😀

Feel free to share any photos you take out waking in the beautiful fresh air and sun shine 💚💙

I'd love to see what nature you see 👀 😀

They really like it here @heartsmyface and they are pretty huge.  This one was a giant and just fluttered himself slowly away 🙂

@CynthieLu @CorgiMommy Beautiful shots! Butterflies hate me. I do have a butterfly haven near me I need to visit.

@Samtian   lol.  I don't know why, but there's something about our minivan that attracts butterflies when I'm driving (or doesn't scare them away enough,) because I run into a lot of them!  It's so sad.

@CynthieLu beautiful.  I was lucky to capture this photo a few weeks ago

 

[CorgiMommy]

@CynthieLu sorry I don't 

[CynthieLu]

Oooh look at those! @CorgiMommy 

Do you know what kind they are? They are a lovely yellow 💛

[heartsmyface]

@CynthieLu @CorgiMommy  They’re swallowtails!! 

[CynthieLu]

You know thier name,  that's awesome! Thank you @heartsmyface 😄

[heartsmyface]

@CynthieLu ha no problem.  What they’re doing clustered on the dirt there is called puddling.  They’re gathering salt, minerals and amino acids from the ground to prepare for mating.

Looks like someone’s into entomology! You are just the coolest @heartsmyface!

[heartsmyface]

@JoSometimes  Ha, it’s more that I ask obscure questions I need the answers to and end up falling down rabbit holes which leads to me learning random things. 😉

[CynthieLu]

Whaaaat! That's so neat! 

@heartsmyface I figured they were just being cute weirdos 🙃 

[heartsmyface]

@CynthieLu  Ha, just hanging out in dirt-as one does…. Errrr …:we mean as four do! 😉

 This is the puffiest daisy.  

 

Thai little guy likes our squirrel resort.

[Samtian]

@heartsmyface Pretty! I thought that was a cat haha. 

[heartsmyface]

@SamtianKinda like a cat except I don’t have to take care of him;) 

[JoSometimes]

@heartsmyface That daisy is just the cutest. Squirrels are awesome. There was a YouTuber, Mark Rober, who had a whole series devoted to his misadventures with squirrels during the pandemic that was pretty interesting. 🐿️

[heartsmyface]

@JoSometimes @Ah yea!  The NASA engineer with too much time on his hands😆.  That was such a fun watch!  

[CynthieLu]

Your daisy's are sooo pretty! @heartsmyface and you opened a little resort for squirrels? 😉 That guest looks particularly happy and comfortable. 💕

[heartsmyface]

@CynthieLu @Ha yes!  They’re especially fond of my compost bin.  They get food, shelter with a lookout and a comfy lounge.  It’s the perfect squirrel setup:)

A couple of new park pictures from a path I'd never walked. 

You can't wear sandals or bare feet while on this dock- the cottonmouth snakes like to hang out below and push their heads through the cracks!
