Puddle

Taking a bit of detour past a wetland area yesterday I came across a puddle. There were several Swallowtails drinking from the puddle so tried to get a photograph as you can see from the pictures below. What was unexpected were the tadpoles in the puddle. I hope this weekends rain is enough to stop the puddle from drying out before the tadpoles can morph into frogs.

Memorial Lake

This afternoon I took a walk around part of Memorial Lake. Lots of nice birds to see but I wanted take a few photos of the streams following the rains we've had recently.
