Nerstrand Big Woods State Park


On Wednesday, I rode down to Nerstrand Big Woods State Park. What drew me there was the waterfall the DNR website mentioned. Unfortunately, with the drought in recent months, the waterfall has become a trickle.  Still, the fall colors were pretty in the afternoon sun.  There were Indian tinker toy plants everywhere, reminding me of childhood field trips.  A large hornet's nest caught my eye. I made sure to steer clear of that!  The picture I took of it was zoomed all the way out with my DSLR lens.

You can read the DNR's pamphlet for more information on the history of the Big Woods in Minnesota.

Bumbling Along


 I love Nyjer flowers and bumblebees.  It's always great when I have both in the backyard.

Have Wings, Will Travel




I love big, fat, fuzzy bees.  But what strikes me most about this bee is the intricacy of its wings.  Amazing.
