Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve

Our camera club is having a photo shoot at Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve on Saturday. R took the day off today so we decided to get a jump on the club. Boy, are we glad we did! The place was packed due to the member's only native plant sale. I'm sure that Saturday will be much, much worse.

We were still able to enjoy the wildflowers and went on a guided walk with a great naturalist, Trig. During the walk I spotted this gorgeous Red Tailed Hawk. He/She was intently staring at something on the ground. And finally flew down and pounced. Unfortunately, it flew away empty taloned.

This bumble bee was also enjoying the many wildflowers.
