Lots of Life






The Nature Center pond is teeming with life! It seems that summer has brought back the frogs, and with them come their predators and prey. A common watersnake lounged in the waterfall today while green frogs galore sang their twangy tune. There are also tons of tadpoles and insects under the glossy surface. Dragonflies come and go. Squirrels and chipmunks stop for a quick drink and hummingbirds buzz at our feeders. Around the pond, native plants of all sorts grow to amazing heights. The rain has made them big and strong, and some have fragrant flowers too.

It is a magnificent site to behold and so simple and quaint. If you stop in, look in the pond! It's right by the front door so I am sure that you will find it hard to miss.
