7/31/12 City Forest
A nice day for an easy outing at City Forest. We started from our usual spot at the end of Kittredge Road and walked down to the pond

A pleasant outing except for the deer flies that were quite thick in some places. At times they even bothered Kelley who usually just ignores them.

Thanks Grace- Yes, Kelley got a swim- actually two at each end of the hike for a total of 4. The flower looks like some kind of fruit or berry to me but I don't know which.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos - love the butterflies!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda
ReplyDeleteSo that's what a deer fly looks like. I work in a primary doctors office and people have come in with nasty 'deer fly' bites. ick!
ReplyDeleteThat little fuzzy guy is cute. Hard to believe it's a caterpillar.
Can't wait to get to Maine in September!

Thanks for commenting Julie- I'm afraid my narrative is misleading- that is a long horned beetle. I'll try to get you a deer fly.
