Wehr Nature Center 7/16/11




Pictures and writing from Joyce. Thank you!!!

I went to the Wehr Nature Center today and it was wonderful. The scenery was gorgeous and enchanting. The glistening Mallard Lake is covered with lily pads and flowers while the shore is lined with great beds of echinaceas, monardas, and raspberry patches. Goldfinches and butterflies
flit here and there while the insects buzz. Did I mention the frogs croaking and splashing? I followed the trail of wood chips from the parking lot to the waterfall and did a little sketching by the rocky falls. I also photographed some scenes that caught my eye and will send them if I can get
my Iphoto working, etc. The mosquitoes were not bad.
