Korth's Meadow - Iowa
These oaks are unyielding when it comes to letting the leaves fly in the wind. Every autumn, they are the very last to let go. . .
This is the meadow area where I hike miles, enjoying beautiful autumn days, wildlife and migrating birds! Winter and snow will bring a whole new landscape to savor and enjoy!

Hurricane Ridge, Olympic National Park, Washington
Presumably it is often very windy on Hurricane Ridge and the clouds were certainly hurrying past that day, but the breezes on the ground were light. Here we stand at the edge of a grassy meadow, a patch of cow parsnip at our feet. In the distance, partially obscured by those clouds, are the Olympic Mountains. We're at an elevation of roughly 1600 meters, or about one mile.
Meadow Pipit / anthus pratensis. Longstone Edge, Derbyshire. 30/06/20.
Memories of a proper summer day in the White Peak earlier this year.
There were quite a few Meadow Pipits about, including this one that decided to check me over. Having caught food items in a rough, weedy field, it‘s routine was to fly up to the fence line, using it as a lookout point. Satisfied all was well, it would then zip off to it‘s nest concealed in the heather further away.
Grasshoppers looked to be very much on the menu that day :-)
Just love a meadown on a warm summers day ♥♥♥

Korth's Meadow - Iowa
Hiking the meadows early this morning enjoying the sunrise, soft bird songs and the sweet aroma of autumn. Not a lot of fall woodland color yet, just a hint here and there!
Autumn in the "Heartland" is worth the wait each and every year! It does not disappoint . . .

In the meadow, soft and sweet,
Grasses sway, in rhythm’s beat,
Nature’s lullaby, so neat,
In its song, peace you’ll meet.
Birds sing in gentle tones,
In the meadow, nature owns,
In its heart, tranquility zones,
Nature’s comfort, in its bones.
As the day turns to night,
In the meadow, stars alight,
Nature’s blanket, holding tight,
In its arms, everything’s right.
Hiking from meadow to meadow....
As luck would have it, this year's Spring has an abundance of wildflowers. They are in the meadows all around us. This is one of many smaller meadows, about a half acre in size. Last week it was full of Yellow and Golden Banner and Purple and Blue Lupine and Meadow Sage. This week the White Drummond's Milkvetch is out of control in a beautiful way. I could so easily string a hammock and take a snooze right here under the Ponderosa.

Meadow pipit seen on Hilbre Island in the Dee Estuary
Meadow pipit numbers in the UK have been declining since the mid-1970s, resulting in this species being included on the amber list of conservation concern.
Hilbre Island is the largest of a group of three islands at the mouth of the estuary of the River Dee, the border between England and Wales at this point.
This group of islands is cut off from the mainland by the tide for up to 5 hours out of every 12 hours. I had a great trip out with the Leigh Ornithological Society (LOS). Over 20 of us walked the 2 miles out to the island and spent the day there. A tougher walk back once the tide had gone out because of the strong head wind but the RNLI were there to make sure all returned safely to the mainland.
I very much appreciated the invitation by my friend Joan to join them for the day, grand company and my knowledge of birds has certainly improved thanks to this knowledgeable fun group!
Thank you Joan for your kind hospitality and a brilliant Hilbre Island experience. :))
