Felt kind of puny today, so didn't work on the Scotch Broom while we were at our volunteer spot on the beachhead of the Oregon Dunes Loop Trail. Didn't make a bird list either or get any bird photos. I guess you could say I took time to "stop and smell the roses", as I did pay a little more attention to the flowers under foot and took a few photos.

I always have to stop to 'smell' the roses no matter how busy I am because I am lucky to get to work in nature each day. My favorite time during peak summer is 5 to 6 in the morning when our hummers start to get active and the Robins do their special chortle when I get too close to the nest and the sleepy Bumble bees are taking their time vacating the flowers they are sleeping under, plus lots of butterflies & so excited to see my first blue dragonfly last week. Thanks for the reminder post, life is good when you stop to smell the roses. ;)
