I found a new area to explore for this #wednesdaywalk by @tattoodjay
This area is quite familiar as it is my gym. But I've never actually explored the forests around it. This first photo was preworkout when the sun was piercing through some rain clouds.
Now after my workout I decided to explore the surrounding area.
By now the sun was starting to set. I sometimes like to go out into this soccer field to do reverse lunges.
Off in the other direction this cloud was lit bright pink from the sunset.
Now it is time to explore the wild forest by the soccer fields. This little guy lead me to what looks like a deer path.
As it turns out the deer path lead me to a really thick little swamp.
Now I know where all the frog noises are coming from when I leave the gym at night. There are all kinds of tree frogs and spring peepers in here.
There are also quite a few wildflowers here.
I even found a milkweed with some monarch larvae on it.
Now I headed back to the car and found a perfect rose. I'm surprised they aren't withered by now.
This little spotless ladybug was waiting on the car. I relocated it before finally heading back home. Perhaps I'll be able to check out the swamp in the morning to see how many turtles are there basking in the sun. I suspect there might be quite a few turtles in that muck lol.
That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
