My chaotic life
These aren't the best photos of a red squirrel but I'm not at my best at 6 am, lol. This loud mouth has been my alarm for the last few days and I'm afraid it's about to get worse - check out the next photo. . .
See her belly, yeah, I think she has wee ones, I guess I won't get to sleep past 6 for quite a while. Have I mentioned that I'm not a morning person? Although with her help I may get caught up sooner than expected, lol.
I'm almost done with our Florida photos. I just loved seeing all the bromeliads and air plants - and blooming too - in February.
Some blooms were even on their way out - in February!
While the palms were still full of leaves/fronds, you can see the other trees in the background and they are bare. You can see the path we walked here, left side of the palm, the little dead grass area - the path was so narrow, with water near it at times I was worried about gators leaping up and eating us.

New Vermont friends
We scared up a red squirrel while geocaching in Vermont.
And there were several Bobolinks around, but they never do cooperate with me very well.
We saw more butterflies than fossils at the Goodsell Ridge Fossil Preserve.
Goodsell Ridge contains the most complete fossil record of the world’s oldest reef dating back over 480 million years ago. On Goodsell Ridge, between stands of cedars and clusters of purple clematis and snowy aster, the ancient bedrock juts out from the soil, displaying in swirls and fossils organisms of extraordinary antiquity. ~Lake Champlain Land Trust
Haden found a wasp busy building a nest on a rock.
I thought these fish were pretty cool, but I don’t know what they are. They seemed to be fighting. We found them at Chazy Reef at Isle LaMotte, along with the turtles of a few days ago.
Hope you are having a great weekend! And Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!
