summer meanderings, take 2



On a second summer weekend getaway, we stop in Upstate NY to say hi to some of our favorite people, who also happen to be champion river-tubers and porch-sitters.

We took a ride to Van Der Heyden school, where Bettie's Dad teaches
Among many, many other projects, David had organized the construction of these garden beds, with tomatos, squash, and other goodies growing.
This is the one that David built


There's neat forest with a go-kart path and a nice pond behind the school.


Last we went for a walk by a lake


After stopping by the lake, we paid a visit to Brian and Sharie, Bettie's uncle and aunt. They had a beautiful flower garden in their back yard that was teeming with insects

Golden Digger Wasp, hard at work. Not to be confused with a Gold Digger Wasp, which does no work at all.
Hummingbird Moth!



Translucent wings!


Look at that long proboscis

Black and white makes bad photos always look better.

It was a beautiful garden at a beautiful home on a beautiful weekend. Trevor needs a thesaurus.
