We’ve been doing a lot of nature walks lately. Thought I would share a few pics.

We try to go for a nature walk at least once a week. I thought I’d share some photos of our last walk. It wasn’t to hot and we had a wonderful time!
Look closely at the frog. He has a bug sitting on his nose! I didn’t notice until I downloaded the photos. They were hard to get shots since we were up on the board walk.

Our weather has been bitter cold. So when we had a day near 0C a few weeks ago, dh took the oldest two girls for a nature walk. They went to our favorite conservation park. The girls had a lot of fun! They saw deer, turkeys that are kept there. They also found wild deer tracks and droppings. Saw the damage on the trees from porcupines. They loved getting to see what the sulfur spring looked like in the winter to.

I just ordered a kit for raising painted lady butterfly’s and another for grass frogs. The girls and I can’t wait to get them! 
I ordered from Boreal in Canada, they also have a site for the USA.
It’s going to be so fun watching the caterpillars and tadpoles grow!
Grass frogs are also called Leopard frogs. I used to see them all the time when I was a child. Now I’m lucky to see a few a year. And some years I don’t see any at all.
