I was happy to see that the State Arboretum in Boyce was reopening. We drove through there one afternoon to look for wildlife. I was excited to see deer cooling off in a pond.
I find it challenging to get pond photos to look sharp through a zoom lens. I think mist from the water makes it hard to focus.
We saw rabbits there too. Some of them were tiny, so I assume they were quite young.
The remaining images are from our own neighborhood.
Catbirds are seen frequently here. Turtles not as often, but almost every time I walk down to the lake, I hear one splash into the water.
The ducks and ducklings seen here are mallards.
