A Late Summer Sunday Walk

After a brief stretch of drier, more moderate weather, we're heading back into the heat and humidity. The day started out mild, but you could feel the humidity building in the air by noon. Still, it was bearable. And there were things to see: a Great Blue Heron fishing in Branch Creek by the King St. bridge; Monarch butterflies everywhere; ditto ducks at the main duck pond in the Dykeman Spring Nature Park; and Wade Asper up on the meadow baling the hay he'd already cut earlier in the week.
