Last night after work Mr. Cleaver and I took a walk at Wolfe’s Neck State Park – it was warm and we were two of about a half dozen people at the park. Afterward, we oogled camping equipment at LL Bean and chowed down on slow cooked meat at Buck’s Naked Barbecue. That’s what I call a perfect evening.
We’d been at Wolfe’s neck in the early fall and the late fall, so it was fun to see how the park is different in the spring/summer:
I love the color contrast of new growth -
These are the first wild orchids I have ever seen – they were everywhere!
This was the highest the tide has been on our visits here, it made the coastal parts of the walk look very different.
I couldn’t believe how big some of the dandelions were! I saw another non-blooming one that was a least 4 inches taller.
The osprey nest. The chicks should be out an about in another few weeks.

those are Lady Slippers Orchids. They are the provincial plant of Prince Edward Island and at least in PEI they are endangered and its illegal to pick them. I love them so much! Aren’t they pretty?

What a super walk – we had lots of lady slippers in the mountains of NC – both yellow and pink – love them – love the last picture too – sweet!
