When you go out for a long day of photography adventures you might come home with not one, but two, dead camera batteries. And that might result in you having to get up in the middle of the night to sort through your photos to see what you got.
Like birds at the Chinsegut Conservation Center… the Rose Breasted Grosbeak, who isn’t a native but is probably migrating through, the Gray Catbird, and the Yellow-Throated Warbler.
Then you might go on a nature hike, on a trail that our intrepid leader, Alice, says wasn’t on a map but showed up on Google Earth, in search of a surprise find, high on a tree limb. Green Fly Orchids, growing wild. She says they are cultivated and sold outside of this country.
Then dinner, and off to another of Alice’s secret spots for the sunset. What a nice day. Thanks ladies!

Greenfly Orchids along other native orchids like the Butterfly Orchid and Ghost Orchid are protected species.

It really was fun. I was lucky because our hike was near home so I was able to swing by and let the dogs out and therefore I had a good time without guilt over them!
