Queeny Park

 

 

This is another place that's almost sacred to me.

 

There's a vibrant tranquility, a serene wildness.

 

Let's go.

 

 

 

Mulberries coming in

 

 

Busy bee

 

 

So lush in the park's interior

 

 

Can't get to the creek that way

 

 

I can see it

 

 

Not much of a trail

 

 

First encounter of the evening

 

 

Must be young

 

 

She steps away

 

 

Two more further on

 

 

Being watched

 

Still watching

 

 

The creek I never reached

 

 

Springing from the ravine

 

 

Many tranquil nooks

 

 

Cardinal escaping

 

 

FYI

 

 

That white speck near the middle was a little moth who followed me around through the entire wildflower area.  I was ready for eagles to arrive, but they never did.

 

 

 

Hi!

 

 

Several of these guys were frolicking, but they'd only land one at a time.

 

 

I hear that finding feathers is good luck.

 

 

Bummer

 

 

I was ready to be sad, but oddly enough, the egg on the ground near the fallen nest turned out to be made of plastic.

 

 

Looking down over a bridge

 

 

Nice bendy tree

 

 

Nessie!

 

 

Dragonfly!

 

 

Cool!

 

 

Danger!

 

 

 

A mini bayou

 

 

Second encounter

 

 

Much closer

 

 

So long

 

 

 

A very thoughtful gesture for their four-legged guests

 

 

Mushrooms!

 

 

Cool stump!

 

 

Awesome!

 

 

Such nicely kept gardens!

 

 

Ornamental peppers!

 

 

Wow!

 

 

A few more treasures
