Dears

 This shot just cracks me up
This might be the same deer (I saw 4-5), but it didn't seem to mind that Grenville was next to me although looking on the other side of the trail.

Mostly birds

 A Cardinal was making a lot of racket, but sitting out in the open so a mate could see his brilliant color.
 I finally caught up with this guy crossing the path.  I wonder if they have a compass because from his level every direction must look the same.
This Ring-bill Seagull is looking like I should have brought some dinner with me.

The color red



 There are 10% more Red Admirals around but I have only heard that they are migrating, no other explanation.
The other red is the Baltimore Oriole.  Just a beautiful bird.

A different snake etc.

 I wish I had a yellow pencil with me to set next to this Garter snake since he was about the same size.

Frosty mornings, warmer days

 Grenville was looking for a snake very close to this guy but didn't see him or smell him as bathed in the sun on a very cool day.
The Trillium are fading fast with frosty mornings we have been having the last few days.

In the State Park

Some uses for the Jack-in-the-Pulpit you may not have heard of.

This is a Jack-in-the-Pulpit
This Cabbage White is responsible for the ragged look of the middle flower in pic below
A trio of White Trillium probably some of the last of the season.
