a walk in the woods

We met our friends for a walk in the woods this afternoon. The kids wanted to walk in a little stream which took us off the beaten path. How wonderful. Even though the mosquitoes were terrible and the weather was humid and some of the kids were a bit whiny, we made some very nice discoveries. Indigo found wild blueberries! They were growing everywhere! I've never even seen wild blueberries growing in this part of our state. They were still mostly green, but we will be checking back often (ofcourse).


We also found a big high-jumping toad...

A nice trickling stream...

A heart-shaped leaf...

And some opossum bones...
