Cranberry Bogs ~ West Virginia

On Saturday, August 16th, Buddy and I drove over to WV to walk through Cranberry Bogs. This time there were flowers to see and lots of pictures to take. After a long summer inside, it was heavenly to get back out in the woods. The day was gorgeous and the temperature perfect. We had the best time. There’s a bunch of photos in this post, so just whippy-doodle right on through them. I culled lots, but these were my favorites.

These are all taken along the boardwalk through the glade.



WHY? ALWAYS THE GRAFFITI :-(

AGAIN.....WHY??? ALWAYS THE GRAFFITI :-(









These are the flowers we saw. They were all so pretty.








Here we have some bees and a hummingbird moth.





Some Mushrooms

    Graffiti must go back to our roots of wanting to mark our territory. Now it looks more like defacing that prehistorical markings. - Margy

    What a beautiful place to take a walk. So much to see at every turn. Love those busy bees perched up on the flowers and the views are just wonderful. We need some sun in my world. Roll on spring.

    I miss exchanging comments with you. I am sorry that I stopped, I went Face booking and writing, that I neglected some of my blogging friends. I saw one of your flowers which I just had a similar one. I will post it in my flower blogs especially for you.
