This morning, it was again, very nice to start with, getting a bit hotter later in the day (though not too humid, all day, which was lovely). We started with a trip to the Patuxent Wildlife Refuge, to have a walk through the woods and around the lake. We didn't see a lot of birds, but we did spot this fella, fishing for a morning snack.
There were a fair few water lilies in bloom, though not by any means all of them.
It's a very scenic place to walk, and lots of it is in the woods, so it's shaded. There's also a large visitors' centre, so the kids spent a while exploring there after we had our walk.
Not a huge number of flowers, but a few wildflowers
and a few examples of the other local wildlife...
As much as I love my kids, I think this guy might win the prize for cutest wildlife... We saw several chipmunks, but this one was the only one which held still long enough to be photographed. He was quite brazen.
