This week we visited the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center near Lake Michigan. It was an overcast morning which gave us the opportunity to listen to the birds, see misty spider webs, and enjoy the scent of roses that hung thickly in the air. I love these old fashioned shrub roses, their foliage thickly spreading across the ground.
The dew hung heavily on the leaves and flower petals, making the scent hang in the air so thick you could swim through it.
This peaceful walk was far from quiet. Life was all around me. At times I stood, closed my eyes and listened to the blackbirds, robins and chickadees. Squirrels called out their warnings to each other, spiders captured dinner in their webs and beetles happily munched on moist leaves.

Beautiful!
I wanted to follow you (Rat Terriers unite!) but I don't see a follow button...
Sounds like you had a wonderful time with Snickers. I enjoyed how you could appreciate even the insect life in your walk with your dog. Thanks for making me smile:)
