hammock time

I had a productive Memorial Day - 

my hammock is up and ready for use.

My view from the hammock.

young poplar

Given the habitual lean this tree was accustomed to, I decided to stake it. Not sure what type of poplar it is though.

Season's first Sunday boat ride

There is just something about relaxing on the water, in the sunshine, listening to birds and the buzz of passing dragonflies that leaves me with a smile.

Peacock Moth caterpillar

I love the little racing stripes.

Eastern gartersnake (take two)

some more pics of an Eastern gartersnake this time near the entrance to its home in an abandoned beaver house.
