Sometimes when you're wildflower hunting on a warm day, you might see a reptile or 2! The wildflowers and wildlife are starting to peek out at Bringle.
 |
| Bradford Pears are one of the first blooming trees around this area in the spring |
 |
| Tho they're beautiful in the spring and in the fall, they are quite invasive and choke out the native plants. Native plants are a must for air quality improvement. |
 |
| Common Vetch is a legume. As it starts going to seed, it will develop little pods |
 |
| Crowpoison |
 |
| Prairie Groundsel |
 |
| Dwarf Dandelion |
 |
| Crimson Clover. Pollinators love this stuff! |
 |
| I saw some here and there today. In a week or 2 there will be tons. Little Buttercups are in the mix. |
 |
| The tiny blue and white Bluets are such a treat. |
 |
| Staredown with this Green Anole. |
 |
| Interesting woods along the boardwalk |
 |
| As many years as I've been walking Bringle, I always see something new to me. |
 |
| Red Maple, also called a Swamp Maple |
 |
| They're still providing a pop of color in the bare woods around Bringle Lake. |
 |
| The Red Maple samaras are stunning and will start dropping later in the spring |
 |
| Wish |
 |
| Dandelions are keepers.... they welcome the bees. |
 |
| As I was studying the wildflowers, I nearly missed this beauty! |
 |
| He slowly crossed the path right in front of me |
 |
| Beautiful Kingsnake |
 |
| one of the good guys |
