Mid summer and warm muggy days are upon us. Unlike most folks, I really enjoy this weather. Just something about these lazy days that makes me want to sit by a lake or pond with
binocular in hand and watch, not only
birds, but insects, butterflies, bullfrogs, turtles and anything else moving about. I even use
binoculars to observe distant wildflowers, grasses and aquatic plants and all form the comfort of a folding camp chair I strap to the back of my bicycle rack. Best of all, I often have the pond to myself, since most folks have retreated to their air-conditioned sanctuaries. Not this girl. I love all seasons and all weather. Don't look for me indoors.
