We spent most of a day on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula exploring Seney Wildlife Refuge – acres and acres of forests and lakes and trails. There are flowers
One white waterlily
Yellow waterlilies
Tiny flowers, each the size of the end of my little finger
Wild iris
Wildflowers. Lots of wildflowers.
and birds
Ducks
And ducklings
And many, many swans
and butterflies
Monarch butterfly on its beloved milkweed
“Skimmers” feasting on flowers
Oh, and a resting dragonfly
and I took dozens of pictures of all of them. But I have to admit I didn’t photograph the most common wildlife – I was too busy swatting it. Yes, the refuge is full of mosquitoes.
It’s a beautiful place anyway.
