Beautiful Day For A Walk 3

Parts 1 & 2 are here:
.
I wandered around from one trail to another, visiting various ponds and streams. I spotted this Great Blue Heron standing on a little patch of grass that was coming up in the center of this pond
.
Scratch, Scratch

Daisy

An old stone wall near the road

I have no idea what this plant is

A little damselfly was on a blade of marsh grass

People were out enjoying the beautiful day

I looked down and watched some little fish swimming under the water

Grasses

Maybe Fleabane?

A heron flew overhead through some threatening clouds

And emerged into the clear blue sky.

At this point, I was all "walked out", so I decided to go home

Another nice series, your unidentified plant is an unopened queen anne's lace blossom.

Another wonderful walk. I like the Heron. Those birds are so difficult to get while still.
The folks in the boats seem to be enjoying themselves.

I really enjoy going on your walks with you. :-) Can't believe how clear that water was for you to get a shot of that fish.
