17 September 2022 Day with Friends at Parker Dam State Park

We have been setting aside a Saturday to visit with friends at Parker Dam for a number of years.  We are all joined together with a love of geocaching and a love of the outdoors.  Today the weather was our friend.  The event organizer started off the ammo can toss event.

Ali and I take a break from the event each year to look for wildflowers and birds.  There were no herons today as we took a peaceful walk.

Asters were looking good.

Bees work no matter what.  They always appear to be tireless.

After we left the park we made our way to a wetlands area to look for a geocache.

I wasn't surprised to see a rattlesnake.  I was surprised to see one this big!  Thankfully, it was calm while I was taking images.

Juvenile cedar waxwings were in numbers.

The younger turkeys passing through were a bit of a surprise.


These gatherings are always too short.  It also seems every year another one or two of us is gone.
