Beaver Lake Nature Center

We took a day trip to Baldwinsville NY (in Onandaga County) to the Beaver Lake Nature Center. It's about 40 minutes from our house. The high today was 72ºF and there was a nice 5-10 mph wind. We had never been there before. It was pretty cool. We walked the 3-mile trail around the lake.
The trails are very well kept. Even at 3 miles, it was a very pleasant walk. There were lots of squirrels, frogs, chipmonks. There were also many water birds.
There were some boardwalks over some of the wet parts. There was some horseplay on the boardwalks. Or maybe it was frogplay.
There were some pretty colorful frogs there. Kaye took pictures of frogs......What's up with her?
Lots of flowers, too. There were lots of really tall trees there also. Someone (I won't mention who) wanted to cut a few of them down. OH YEAH!.....Ahem. Nice flowers.

We had a picnic lunch while we were there. It was great. Food is usually good. I had a chicken salad sandwich. OK, two. Some Hint of Lime Tostitos, too. All in all, a good outing. A little exercise, a little food, some sunshine and a cool breeze. Then we came home and split some wood. Back to reality, you know.

Wow! That looks like a great family outing. Nice action shot of leap frog. That frog looks really interesting too. I don't think we have that kind in these parts. Your wit just kills me greg. I'll think of something clever to say eventually.

Kaye is the photog in the family. She does a really good job. She uses the digital philosophy....Take tons of images and discard most. You will end up with some really good ones. She digitally alters all of the ones of me, though. She makes it look like a have a big gut. She's evil like that.

That is one handsome kid in the Hard Rock Cafe t-shirt. And he sure knows how to play leap frog!
