CVPS Photowalk at Herrick Fen, September 24

You'd have no idea Herrick Fen was even there - you drive down a rutted lane past piles of construction waste, a cool farm, then along what appears to be a very much past its prime soybean field, and into a tiny parking lot. The fen has a nice board walk through a marsh then a path up a bit of a hill. We were there early, rain gear in hand. Lots of water drops, torpid bugs, and misty vistas.

Mysterious caterpillar

Tickseed, and my favorite shot of the day.

One of seven million kinds of stinkbugs.

Teasel. I like the little threads caught in its spines.
