We had a wonderful few days with Erik....he arrived Wednesday and went home Sunday afternoon. We played board games, card games, took a few walks in parks, and ATE TOO MUCH. He fell in love with our Isaiah. And Isaiah took to him as soon as they met. The weather was awesome from Thanksgiving to Sunday afternoon...it couldn't have been a more perfect time...
Hilltop Community Park...
The jet streams were everywhere we looked. Guess air travel was at its peak for the holiday!
Most of the wooded areas were still green, but upon closer inspection, there WAS some color changes!
Trails galore, going in all directions, twisting, winding, and hilly.
Butterflies were aplenty!
But wait! Nearby, on the trail borders, I spied quite a lot of this low lying plant....Could it be poison oak? Three leaves...beware! How does the poison Ivy saying go? Is it LEAVES OF THREE, LET IT BE? Something like that....
Glad you had a nice visit. I'm not good at identifying plants but I have heard that leaves of three, let it be saying before
ReplyDeleteAll I know is oak CAN change color in the Fall, so I'm wondering. lol
DeleteHello, so glad you had a nice visit with your son. I love all the pretty butterflies. Beautiful sky captures. Have a happy day and a great new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteThere were butterflies everywhere!
DeleteWhat beautiful pictures. It sounds like it was a wonderful visit, and I too ate too much and now I seem to be hungry all the time! :-)
ReplyDeleteI could probably not eat anything for days & survive. Luckily, Erik with his huge appetite left very little leftovers for us to freeze....which is GOOD!
DeleteGlad you had such a nice visit and that the weather was cooperative. Pretty skies ruled! I would NOT touch those leaves and you are probably correct about them being poison oak.
ReplyDeleteMost agree it's poison oak...but pretty from a distance.
DeleteWhat beautiful photos you snapped over your most wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with Erik. Sounds as if Isaiah fell in love with his big brudder.
ReplyDeleteHugs Cecilia
Ya, with Erik, isaiah got lots of play time. He's recouping as i type.
Deletebeautiful fall colors trying to peek through the green and the last one does look like poison oak… and I do leave all of that alone...
ReplyDeleteThankfully, I left them at a distance. Lol
DeleteYes, leaves of three, let them be. I bet this is some kind of poisonous plant. Deceptively pretty. So glad you had such a wonderful visit! Really good butterfly photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ginny. Glad I only photograped them!!
DeleteLooks so summery still with the flowers and butterflies. Glad you had such a good time.
ReplyDelete'Summery green' here...almist year 'round.
DeleteAll those trials look so inviting.
ReplyDeleteEven the incline can give you a work-out if you do all the trails!I
DeleteYour visit sounds wonderful. Your photos look so great. It is cold, brown, and dreary here.
ReplyDeleteA lot of the area remains green here.
DeleteGlad you had a great holiday with your son!
ReplyDeleteI like having four different seasons in the year, but the thought of butterflies in the Winter is very tempting! Our forecast is 26F tonight with a high of 43F tomorrow.
Have a wonderful week!
We have four seasons! Mild, warm, hot and hotter!
DeleteI've heard the leaves of 3 saying too. Better safe than sorry!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics! I love the lighting you caught.
So glad you had a good time with Erik.
It was a good time!
Deletenice temperature and wonderful photos as always.
ReplyDeletehave a great day.
Thanks!
DeleteBeautiful pictures. We're having yet another snow storm today. I called in our friend who will come plow us out in a bit. Jack was out there the other day trying to handle clearing our drive and it just about did him in. At 80 he just doesn't have the stamina he once had.
ReplyDeleteThank the good Lord for good friends!
Ya...he needs MUCH help!
DeleteLovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the season. :)
Thank you!
DeleteHow lovely! It's turned supercold here.
ReplyDeleteSuper cold? Not for me...I don't like cold.
DeleteIt certainly looks a perfect Thanksgiving, love those jet stream trails. We have just got a new app where you can find out where the plane is heading and where it has come from. It is giving an inordinate amount of amusement - sad but true :)Hope your weather has continued to be awesome!
