Its that time of the year again. Spring is here and I had enough of the house work. My boys are home for two weeks from school and they need to get outside. So, we packed up some lunches and packed up My three kids into the mini van. Off we go!
We went to the Iroquois wild animal refuge. It was a beautiful day and lots to see.
We needed a little help in directions so we followed these guys v_shape But they only went as far as to a pond. There I tried to ask this guy the_take_off_2
but you see what help he was. While at the side of the road something caught my eye. why_the_frog_crossedthe road?
Never got that question answered. Then I felt like someone was watching me. I saw these deer stop_to_look_at_me    When I asked them how to get to the trail. They took off too. I tried to ask this guy but he seemed a bit focused on something. flying_high_
Finley I found our way to the trail but then I could not find our way out so this little green, legless guy saidI_see_you_2   are lost. I will point to the way out and he did. we said our good_bye_ssssss  and  a thank you.
This beautiful creature met us at the end.pretty_orange_butter  butterfly.
When we were waiting to leave the parking lot this is what we saw.what_the___   this is the strangest creature of all.

Enjoy the post,for we really did enjoy the day.  ;)

    LOVE flying high. The detail and light on the wings is fabulous. However, the color in that butterfly is definitely a winner in my book as well. Great shots, and I'm glad you had such a prosperous shooting day.

    by the way, does anyone know what type of fungus that is in my thumbnail. I think it is what they call buff ball I'm not sure. ( need to get a mushroom and fungus book) ;) thank you for looking. ;)
