One of my favorite walks nowadays is the one that winds along the river here in Athens. It's got sun, shade, small woodland critters, frogs, bugs, bogs, wading pools, downed trees across the water that seem to be begging you to take a risk and venture out a mid-river views, old factory buildings, bridges, hikers, joggers, rollerbladers and so many more things. Can you see why it's my favorite, eh? Oh, and the wildflowers! They're everywhere! Oh, and the wild grasses! They're everywhere too! So much to see...
Silver-Spotted Skippers are a fairly common butterfly here in Georgia but I still think they're pretty cool regardless of their mundanity. They have this funny erratic flight style that makes them quickly recognizable from afar...
A lovely Blue Winged Wasp working to extract some nectar from a Roundleaf Thoroughwort plant. These are not aggressive wasps so I was able to get right up close for a (blurry because it moved constantly) photo. Cutieeee...
Ah, the Kudzu blossom has become one of my favorite things happening in Athens right now. They smell delicious, taste delicious and look so beautiful with those purple variations. Wait, did you see the tastes delicious part? Kudzu blossom jelly = uhmayzingstuff.
I'm still agog at times at all the wonders offered by northern Georgia nature...
