One of the fun things about travel is seeing things you don’t see at home, well, the coneflower is also found here.
But this alien flower is new to me.
It appears to be some kind of rapid growing vine.
Like these vines that have taken over a staircase in Georgetown. I guess it doesn’t get much foot traffic anymore.
We have hibiscus here of course, but this one was so red and huge.
Then there is the cattail, often considered a problem because it expands so rapidly.
I saw quite a few of these massive spiderwebs that seemed to capture more plant material then bugs. Maybe the bugs are too small to see or they are consumed instantly.
The common sparrow, eating crumbs that someone dropped.
I don’t know if this is a heron or some other river bird.
A mama and baby deer, yes we have plenty of these around here.
But like all baby animals, who can resist something this cute?
Speaking of deer, the yarn store sure knows how to make a display.
