Nature's Playground

We're still not fully recovered from 'The Stupid" ( the illness we've all had this week), but I decided fresh air would do us good, so we took a long walk through the woods and prairie at Paynes Prairie State Park.

Blaze really had fun with the vines in the woods.

Since we didn't find any big animals for me to photograph today, I spent quite a bit of time watching butterflies, banana spiders, and one snake.

There aren't many colored Fall leaves around here right now, but we did manage to find a few to bring home.

    I do hope you are feeling lots better, and yes fresh air always helps.

    Those vines look strong! My kids would have had a ball playing on them...looks like Blaze did too.

    And the snake is just plain old cute. :)

    Oh my gosh, is that a smiley face on that second spider? Very good spider pics lisa! I'd be right there with Blaze swinging on the vines!

    I hadn't really noticed before, but yes, the spider does look like it's smiling. That's really funny!
