8/15/15 Back to the Beaver Pond

We first went to Essex Woods. Kelley sniffed around a bit, went in the dog park for a short time - mostly to greet the people, and then didn't want to walk. I decided to defer to her wishes and drove over to the forest so she could have a swim.

Heading across the meadow toward the pond



Can't seem to resist  Queen Anne's lace - I have a lot of pictures in all it's stages.


Ah !





Kelley din't want to walk here either so we just spent a little time at the pond and headed back up the hill.

I found this on the way back - odd blossoms are closed disks , like yellow M&M's


So, we both got a break, which wasn't not bad as it was quite warm and very humid.

  2. Hi John
    That might possibly be Tansy with the yellow button flowers.
    Wonder why Kelley was being so fussy today??
    Well, she still got exercise with that swim. Have a good "rest-of-the-day"

    1. Thanks Sue I think you have the ID. I can't tell with Kelley ( wish she could talk) but perhaps her knees were bothering her

  3. Maybe the humidity is bothering her? A swim sounds nice - thats low impact exercise for her too.
