Wildflowers

We are in FW Kent Park in Iowa. One of the great things here is that they have internet! So that is why you see the mass loading of posts.

Another great thing is that the place is almost empty. The place is really dark so I was hoping to see meteors with the Perseid meteor shower. I saw a few meteors, but the skies were hazy. Turns out this is from the smoke from Canadian and California wildfires.

The wildflowers are terrific here. The trails are through masses of flowers. Plus, I saw rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, and deer. Not incredibly special but seeing them all on one morning walk is always nice.

An interesting find on the path. This pony truss bridge is from Iowa City and was built in the early 1900’s.

BTW, we have been passing lots of wind turbines in Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa.
