An early morning errand brought me almost to John Chestnut park, so of course I dropped by to see what I might see. I found lots of dog walkers, a few photographers, joggers pushing baby carriages, and more. Wait, let me show you…
There were deer along the road as I drove into the park, and some very cooperative dragonflies along the boardwalk.
Sunbathers…
Many adorable birds thanks to the sunflower seeds that someone had left along the way. And squirrels of course, always squirrels.
Wildlife of another variety entirely…
I heard him pecking, so I stuck around until I spotted him. This was my first photo shoot with a pileated woodpecker, who paid no attention to me at all. He gathered a small crowd before he finally flew away.
I have spent probably too much time lately coloring in a fun book that features gnomes. Maybe that’s why these cypress knees looked to me like a mysterious gathering of gnomes in the woods.
Of all the activities I saw going on in the park I think I liked this one the best. A woman taking a moment to rest and enjoy the view.
