Painted Turtle

we saw this painted turtle

a couple of weeks ago

while we were wading with Miss Bean

it is the first time I have seen a turtle around here

very cool!

Mmm look what is starting to ripen!!

our fave, the black blueberry

equally delicious, the blue blueberry

Minnows

I have been watching these

minnows grow this past month

while we wade with Miss bean

in the river

July has been foggy and cool

fog on the Aguasabon River

swimming in the Aguasabon on one of our hot days

Miss Bean wading to cool herself down

she didn't enjoy the heat at all.

Smartweed

I found a patch of this wild flower while we were walking Miss Bean on the weekend. It is smartweed, from what we have read, it is gorgeous!

I have been trying for days to upload a photo to blogger, very happy I was finally able to!
