Pigeon Creek Park in June 2012

This summer I skipped out of blogging for about 4 months, I thought I might do a brief post of each adventure I found this summer, as I find time.  It's fun to look back to June when it is January, right?

So this adventure is from June 11, 2012 - Pigeon Creek Park, Ottawa County Michigan

On our (our is my sister Marie and me) way to park we stopped along the road where we have visited a certain ditch, this ditch is filled with many different types of wildflowers in summer.

                                       Along the trail at Pigeon Creek Park.

Also that day, we made a brief stop at Connor's Bayou, another Ottawa County park.  This park is being "improved".   For years we have admired the wildflowers along this driveway, New Jersey Tea, Poke Milkweed, Hare Figwort, Round-lobed Hepatica, and more.  Unfortunately this drive has been widened so these plants have been bulldozed.

So that's a little bit of June, right here on the first day of January 2013!
