A little icy.


At the center of the labyrinth. 


Start of a new buckeye tree.


 





Such a pretty plant - looks almost like cilantro.

Only with some major thorns!

Isn't nature amazing~

A killer climb - an it's not done yet..


There were an abundance of newt eggs today!

We thought this little guy was slumped over a rock.

On closer inspection you can see it is an egg sack.

We have one here on its side - laying eggs? 
The newt on the left looks like she (?) is ready to explode!

Peak-a-boo we see you!



Another glorious buckeye!
