Hiking part of the Ice Age Trail – Door County
Spent part of a midsummer day checking out what is blooming on the Ice Age Trail. This is only a small section of the more than 1000 mile trail crossing Wisconsin. This section is just north of the gardens about 15 miles.
A great day enjoying the out-of-doors.
The butterfly is so exqusiite
ReplyDeleteAs I am sure you can guess, with all these flowers on the trails and here in the gardens, there are lots of butterflies in this area. However I must say that the number of monarchs is much less this year maybe because we had such a warm Spring and they just continued moving North and did not stop over in this area. Next Spring will tell.
DeleteA walk surrounded by beautiful nature full of life.
ReplyDeleteGood shots.
This place is really in the midst of so many nature trails and nature preserves. It is a nice place to call home - and do my gardening. This state Wisconsin, is a vacation destination for so many especially people for Chicago that have second home here. There are 15,000 lakes here in the state and miles and miles of rivers plus the forest etc. Am fortunate to live is such a place of nature. Thanks for the compliment on my photos!.
DeleteLovely images from the Ice Age Trail. The full length of it is a blessing. I had thought about traversing it all, over time, but...we'll see. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI have friends who walked the whole thing back about 6 years ago. I doubt if I would be able to do that today! Nice that a part of it is here so near the house.
DeleteSehr schöne Naturaufnahmen und besonders gefällt mir das Streifenhörnchen und der bezaubernde Schmetterling.
ReplyDeleteEinen schönen Tag wünscht Marita
The plants all look familiar, the insects don't.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures!

Bonitas flores silvestres y mariposas. Besos.
ReplyDeleteIt is that time of year when so m much is blooming. Takes a lot of work doing a garden, but times like this season makes it all worth it!
DeleteWhat an interesting trail. Beautiful blooms & photos!
ReplyDeleteThis is just one of the many wonderful place to hike so very close to the gardens here.
