The Wild Life...

A quick walk through the campus and woods today to see what's bloomin' turned up little in the way of newly showy flora.
But...

...clandestine sprites have cleaned up my classroom garden, assembled and placed the new garden bench, and planted an assortment of new flowers! And I think I know the identity of the sneaks! Thanks!



And three glorious surprises on my nature walk today...

...a Red-Spotted Purple sipping at the stream, safer because he mimics the poisonous Pipevine Swallowtail...


...a 48" plus snake (rat snake? water snake?) lying in the blackberry brambles awaiting lunch...


...and a scurrying little groundhog, too curious to stay holed up for long....
