Meet the "Welcome Toad," nice enough to
welcome us to the campground |
Elena is much more welcoming to me than
Mr. Toad! |
|
|
Ferocious, starving beasts! |
These guys live like kings! |

Meet Mr. Lucky (on the right), who

This is Thelma, the kind stranger who
shared our campsite and gave us a bottle of champagne ~ what a great lady!

This little guy was making his way across
a little-traveled road (which was good for him based on his speed).
Elena was kind enough to "give him a lift" into the grass (likely also good
for him). |

Just hangin' out at the Great Plains

Follow your nose, it always knows! (good
advice from the experts at the Great Plains Nature Center) |

Can you believe this eagle got this close
to Elena, making all her wildest dreams come true?!? |
King snakes are called such because they
eat other snakes...yikes! |

Turtles, Canada Geese and Giant
Frogs...OH MY! |

These pink flowers bloomed alongside the
nature path. |
Jonathan getting super excited for a free
wine tasting at Wyldewood Cellars Winery, Mulvane - Good thing they also had
grape juice!! |

|
|
Elena gives the Elderberry jam two thumbs
up (free wine tasting included jellies, fudge and mustards ~ DELICIOUS!!) |
Among the varieties of tasting wines were
many fruit flavors (Elderberry, Raspberry, Blackberry, Peach, and Cherry to
name a few). Jonathan's favorite was Prairie Sunset- so we bought a
bottle for later |

Driving into Cheyenne Bottoms to view wetlands and wildlife,
these guys were just hanging out in the middle of the road until we
disturbed their peace |
A quarter mile
down this dirt path towards Cheyenne Bottoms, we made an important decision:
heed all signs indicating impassability! |

|
The enormous sprinkler/irrigation contraption in one of the
many huge crop fields in Kansas |
Anyone know
exactly what this is and what it does (besides go up and down into the
ground)? If so, let us know. |
