After our lovely, cool
camping trip to Rickett's Glen State Park a few weeks ago, I was determined to keep enjoying the outdoors at home, in spite of continued heat and humidity. I'm trying, but it is still so uncomfortable here! One day last week, I left the house right after breakfast for a short hike at our local nature center "before it got too hot." It was already jungle-like outside, with unbearable heat and humidity plus loads of tiny, biting gnats in the air, so I can't say it was a very enjoyable hike...but it was still beautiful! Everything is green and lush. Here are a few highlights from our lovely Ashland Nature Center in Delaware, in hot August:

| Stairs to the start of the trail |

| Flowers in full bloom in the butterfly garden |
 |
| Path through the lush greenness |
 |
| Boardwalk is overgrown now but we used to look for tadpoles here when kids were small! |
 |
| One of Delaware's two covered bridges |
 |
| Boardwalk through the trees |
Hope you are enjoying the weekend and staying cool! (we plan to hit the movie theater later today)
Beautiful photos of a lovely place. I especially like the picture of the covered bridge with its reflection in the water. Our summer has been relatively cool this year.
ReplyDeleteMy post features a hike at the Naches Peak Loop, Mt. Rainier.
Ahhh...a cool summer sounds so nice! Haven't had one of those since childhood :)
DeleteI loved visiting covered bridges; several pretty ones in Vermont. Stay cool Sue.
ReplyDeleteYes, lots of them in VT! We love visiting there. Just 2 left in DE, I think.
DeleteSo very cool. Thanks for sharing it with us.
