This past Sunday, Father's Day, we went to Nisqually Wildlife Refuge. The entrance fee is only $3 a family, and it's such a peaceful, beautiful place to visit. We love seeing all the native plants and hearing the sounds of many birds. Other animals make this refuge their home, too. We saw a mink last fall, as well as a neat garter snake. This visit, when we got to the observation deck near the
twin barns, we found that "someone" was watching us!

And guess what was behind him?
Windchime pointed out the heart on this fence post!
At the end of our walk, we noticed this sign. It's a good thing the squirrel didn't attack us. ;)

Very nice find indeed :D And the squrrel also had hearts in his fure <3 Your kids sure are good at finding hearts too . Wishing you a nice weekend :D
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful photos of the squirrel! (We like to call them "squirrely dudes" for fun. Those hearts are beautiful too - the bottom one looks like it could also be a butterfly! Windchime has a good eye for hearts!!!
ReplyDeleteI noticed another heart - in the first picture, the light playing through the leaves makes a heart right above the squirrely dude's head!
I love it that you are passing on this love of nature to your kids. I think you are awesome!!!
these are more than beautiful hearts.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the squirrel and the hearts, your son got some great photos. I think the he squirrel might be a mama squirrel.
