Hello to all from Benni, I will be hosting this week. Thank you much for putting my picture as banner. 😌
As we've seen this week, the value of unpaved land is important in times of storms and heavy rains. To honor these natural sponges, my theme this week is "Meadows, Fields And Wetlands". Any unpaved area will do, there are many of them out there and they are not only beautiful, but also serve a purpose in preserving our environment.

Deep in the Canadian woods, this pond was formed by a beaver dam. Beyond the woods there is a meadow filled with ferns and grasses.
very very nice banner benni

ReplyDeleteSerene shots of the marsh and lake.
Hi Benni !! Many thanks for hosting this week. A great theme, I really like it. Love that meadow in the first shot with all the wild 'Susans' in it. Never seen them grow wild here, only in gardens. That marshland in the second shot would be great for bird photography, I would think, and maybe a few water critters, too. Nice light in the last shot, although I'd have loved to have seen the actual beaver dam.
ReplyDeleteHi Mitch - the actual beaver dam is in the picture, in the foreground. I am standing on it. It is an old dam, silt filled up the spaces between the twigs, and grasses and other plants took root.
DeleteA very good theme Benni. I have also never seen black eyed susans growing so wild. I can be happy when they appear every year in my garden. I can imagine that the marshlands have intersting wild life. The last photo is very interesting. We also hae beavers here, but I have never seen one, although there are posters everywhere along the river. We just get river rats.
ReplyDeleteHi Benni!Thanks Benni for hosting and for the choice of a good theme for this week. Love the three photos and the yellow patches against the greens make the top two shots really beautiful. Good work by a beaver... a very skilled one...
