This is the last of my previous summer blogs (I think!). This one was in a more incomplete state than the rest of my post-summer summer blog posts, so I had to choose some of the pictures. It was really hard! Oxbow Park is just a beautiful place. And it makes me miss summer! But only one more month of winter to go, right?

Here I will share some of my pictures from our hike (today) through Oxbow Park (and zoo).

We went through the zoo first. We saw the bear, the coyotes, and the prairie dogs. Everything was pretty much the same as last year. For the most entertaining animals, it was a tie between the wild turkeys and the porcupine. As you can see here, the turkeys were being turkeys.

And this porcupine was doing a dance. He was either happy or very disturbed.
Then we went hiking through the trees and out to the meadow. It was beautiful, as always. Here are a few pictures of some of the flowers we saw.

One important thing to note is that it is almost black cap season. We saw a lot of almost ripe black caps, and we actually found one ripe one.
