Lunchtime Walk Photos (8/20/2026)

My walk today came with some sadness because I came across a deceased muskrat. I'm not sure what happened to it other than it possibly was attacked by a hawk or something that was then scared off before it could eat. It seemed fairly recent though because the fur looked like it was still wet.

Anyway, despite that, it did turn out to be a decent walk. I wound up skipping some trails because I didn't want to scare some green herons that were perched in the way but still got quite a few photos.

Here are some of them:

This frog was a bit of a surprise because it was some distance away from any of the ponds. Hopefully, it hopped back before it dried out (or was eaten by a snake).




I mentioned the green herons. There were multiple birds hanging out around the largest pond, giving me plenty of opportunities to get photos from far enough away to keep from scaring them.

I still haven't been able to photograph the large snapping turtles that have been swimming near the shore but did get a photo of this turtle sunning itself on a rock.


While not perfect, I sort of like the butterfly action shot I accidentally took. I also took a non-action shot of one resting on a flower.



Is it really a walk if I don't get some dragonfly photos?
