Edith Morley Urban Park 4 July 2023 |
||||
|
| Park very quiet, very inviting. Glad I decided to visit. |
|
| "Havoc" was beside himself with excitement. He so enjoys this park. |
|
| The park's Oregon Grape shrubs were heavy with fruit. |
|
| Often found growing at old habitation sites. Has medicinal properties. |
|
| Mantilla Poppies like this one are also found at former homesteads. |
|
| Fast-growing shrub can reach tree size unless trimmed regularly. |
|
| Female Acmon Blue butterfly. |
|
| Pollinators like this native yellow-faced bumble bee were very active. |
|
| Pollen collected by bumble bees are to feed their young. |
|
| Lots of swallowtail butterflies nectar sipping from Buddleia tree blossoms. |
|
| Here, a Pale Swallowtail fends off advances from an Anis Swallowtail. |
|
| Waterway proved too inviting for Havoc. He just had to take a splash! |
|
I had hoped to see some wildlife in the waterway corridor. |
|
| Birds noticeably absent, and I only saw this single damselfly basking. |
|
| The very definition of a "Sylvan Glade". |
