What do you say we start off the week with another Photo Safari Report?  I'm calling this one the Awesome Hike, because it really was.  Near perfect conditions, those being, hardly anyone else anywhere around, sunny skies, cool temperatures, loads of things to see as we hiked along and of course, Joy and I hanging out together.  Always a bonus.

I'll start out with the flowers because there have been so few for the past howevermany months.  Spring is definitely here if the floral varieties in Preserves is any indication.   Most  wildflowers are yellow for whatever reason, but on this hike, most of the ones we saw were pink! Awesome! 

And it follows, naturally, that if there are loads of flowers, there will also be a lot of insects!  I cannot even begin to tell you how many butterflies, dragonflies, flying stinging things and creepy crawlies of every size and colour we saw but I only was able to capture a relatively small number (comparatively)  of photos.  All Dragonflies!  Insects are small and they move very quickly and that's my excuse.  Anyway, insects:

There were so many birds! So Many Birds!  It was like a birdie convention!  At first they insisted on only being on the side of the trail that had us shooting into the sun.  Not good.  But eventually I got a few good ones in all directions :) Yay!

And that leaves only the rando's.  It's a very strange lot today, a little of this and a little of that. The flotsom and jetsom of photos.

Oh wait, that's not all.  Since I've been leaning toward black & white photography recently, I decided to add that category to the Photo Safari Reports.  Hope you don't mind. 

So I guess that's it for this time 'round.  Thanks for joining me on the Awesome Hike.  Wouldn't it be fun to come along live and in person some time?

Wishing you all a spectacular Day!
