...too quickly. Summer that is, and I think I said that same thing about Spring. But, at least my days are very full of wonderful adventures and visits from family and friends.
I have stolen a few quiet moments for myself, to photograph more of New York State's many Orchids. On Sunday my husband and I drove to Ferd's Bog in the Adirondack Mountains. It is an amazing quaking bog, with a board walk that actually floats on the bog. This keeps people from trampling the flora. Sundew, Pitcher Plant, Bog Herbs and many Grasses can be found Spring through Autumn. The walk into the bog is about 3/10th of a mile through a woods filled with Ferns, Mosses, Lichens, Fungus and many Wildflowers.
I try to go there several times each season, as there are always many wonderful surprises awaiting this avid photographer. On Sunday Calopogon pulchella (Grass-Pink) and Habenaria blepharigottis (White Fringed Orchis) were both blooming.
Our Grandchildren have been visiting with us for the past 5 days and its been a busy time, playing with them. But, alas somebody's has to do it. Certainly glad that it has been me....

I agree Joan...summer is going by fast, but no matter how busy we are there is always time for grandchildren...isn't there...
