Our extra long spring has been greatly appreciated by many nature lovers & maybe most especially the nature lovers w/ toddlers. If not for these regular outings, my early demise would be all but certain. 1) a common garter snake that we stopped to chat with - she was nice. 2) #DiamondLkGirls being cute 3) Shay was pretty excited about walking on the log 4) Mommy & Bella in a natural frame 5) Paper Wasps’ nest from last year 6) Map reading 101 & someone is carrying a piece of concrete - maybe to fend off bears 🐻 🐻 7) Bloodroot patch 8) Fungi triumvirate 9) Bella & Daddy selfie 10) swamp water shadow & light #exploremn #hennepincounty #woodrill #diamondlkphotography #naturephotography #gartersnake #sota #mapreading #bloodroot #fungi #swampwater #hikingmn #woods (at Wood Rill Scientific And Natural Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_fIqmvHSY6/?igshid=1tq6let7gcq2g
