The first 3 pics are from around the block.
There’s a little flying bug in the second pic and he is just hovering there…you can see the shadow of his little antennas on the one petal.
The last pic is just a spot at my happy place at the beach. 😊💗

P 8. That’s sweet and scary. What will happen when the eggs hatch?

Would these footprints mean people enjoy the environment? Or is enjoyment trampling the grasses that prevent erosion or habitats of endangered bird. It could be, right? Great strides have been made here in protecting both shoreline, endangered birds, and still making it possible for humans to also enjoy and co-exist. Dogs are allowed, leashed, on beaches at certain times of the day year round.
I've really enjoyed all your posts on P. 10. I think of mans' footprints on this earth when I see the footprints in the stand. You've shown nature's damage but also how we can enjoy and help save what we have in your other posts.

A Kildeer decide to build a nest next to the drive into the building where I work. Don't worry, the nest is on landscape rocks where no one drives, though it is close
P. 8 Wonderful pictures of Killdeer. Can't wait to hear how things go.

Pat, thanks for giving us the impetus to think more about the beauty that is all around and our need to protect it. There are so many areas already being so protected. I have a few examples that may demonstrate.
P. 7 Wonderful pictures of those special places of our protected areas.
