Lake Walk

One of the little pleasures of living here at The Sticks are our walks down to the lake.  At the edge of our property is an abandoned railroad line…the rails and ties pulled out a long time ago.  It makes it an easy stroll thru the woods.

 

All along the way are flowers, interesting plants, and an occasional ‘critter’.

 

 

Tiny asters.  I love that shade of purpley blue.

 

 

Not sure what this is but aren’t the textures great?

 

 

 

Here’s a mystery plant.  Anyone know what it is?

 

 

Love these seeds on this tree. 

 

 

A moss covered turtle at the lake.

 

 

This water strider spider finally held still long enough for me to get a photo.

 

 

The beaver have been busy putting a dam across this little creek. 

 

Every time we take our walk there is some new we see, even after five years.  Can’t wait until we have the chance to walk down there with Little Bird and Little Hoss!  They’ll love it!
