The Pond

We had a delightful time in Georgia last week visiting our youngest son and his family. Thely live in Grovetown, near Augusta.

We (my son, two grandsons, and me) decided to walk a few hundred yards to the pond near their home. We spotted a butterfly on the way.

I enjoyed the smell and look of the Georgia pines and the woods.

We eventually came to the pond.

Around the pond were flowers that grasshoppers thought were a breakfast buffet.

After I took some pictures, as well as my curious son, we headed home.

Along the way the boys found a centipede (followed by many others!), which the oldest picked up.

The youngest was curious enough about all the cracks (he called them creeks) to pause for a moment.

It was a lovely morning outing. Gaters and spiders on Wednesday.
