There's something new every time we go down to the river. It's such a joy to be able to stay back and let the boys have some independence in a wild space.
The water was way down which I prefer because I can worry less. After a lot of rain, the water can get quite high and the current very fast. Here, it only gets about 2 feet deep all the way across the river.
These boy's most valuable tool: A net. We've learned the difference between a good net and a bad one.
Our neighbor is especially talented at catching things and netted this baby snapper...
It looked just like a mini dinosaur...
You can see the reflection of the road on this beetle's back (lower right side). Amazing...
Also, Matthew caught a mourning cloak butterfly. No picture because the camera died, but he was very proud.
Was the butterfly in mourning for your dead camera?
