I was used to doing this with each of the many cats we owned through the years. I was surprised to see Lizzie chase the light.
She's a gentle, happy dog!
We planned to spend the morning before our drive hiking to the back of the property. Getting to the high point at this time of year always means cleaning the fallen debris, pulling garlic mustard and looking for whatever wildlife we can find. We were at the start of the journey when we found a salamander in the wet area near the stream.
We always make the walk at least at this time of the year to see if our round-leaf orchids have returned and hopefully see a spike blooming from one of them. It takes us near the highest point of the property and is an energetic climb. We were on our way up the last bit when Ali spotted this beautiful polyphemus moth.
We also found three round leaf orchids, but sadly no spikes.
