Day 6.228: Five Rivers (mostly by Exile #4)

Exile #2 took the kids to Five Rivers last Friday - Exile #4 had the camera most of the time and this is what they came back with:


They were pulling Eurasian water chestnut out of the pond again - I'm not sure if they are trying to control it or just to study what is going on with this invasive species.  Exile #2 took the picture in the bottom left - this remarkable-looking fly is a tiger bee fly - apparently a parasitoid of the carpenter bee - but just check-out those wings!

  1. Great photos - I particularly like the boats completely surrounded by plants, and the wildlife pictures!
