Bunny Hop

We signed up at the senior center to attend the Bunny Hop yesterday. Heather led us on a 4-mile hike at Conestee Nature Preserve. The weather was perfect, and so was the company. There were 6 of us who showed up. At the entrance sign, I asked a couple if they would take a photo of all of us. We walked to the old mill and saw where they were improving the dam, and then walked the Swamp Rabbit trail back to the entrance. We saw lots of flora and fauna. The last exciting thing I saw was a watersnake that had just swallowed a fish.

Nice Day at Lake Conestee

This morning after breakfast, we went to Lake Conestee Nature Park and did a 2 mile hike. It was a beautiful day and there were lots of people on the trails. I was glad to see lots of children enjoying nature too. We looked for wildflowers and animals. We saw a bird-watching group and one of the watchers told me what they were looking at. I think we found a whole big group of box elder bugs. At first I thought they were tiny seeds until they started moving. The water flowers were lovely and we even saw some turtles.
