Hello Everyone.

I spent last week taking pictures in the wonderful Crex Meadows Wildlife Area in Northwestern Wisconsin.  The diverse prairie, wetlands, and forests habitats make Crex Meadows such a fun place to hike and take pictures of critters.  And August is great for hiking.....nice summer weather with way less mosquitos and ticks than in June and July.

Here are some pictures from last week.

I saw quite a few 'Green Herons' flying around while at Crex.

Check out this crazy 'Ambush Bug'....it looks like the creature from the movie Predator

This 'Spittlebug' was on my windshield near Reed Lake in Crex.  It turned out pretty cool with the green prairie background reflecting on the glass.

Check out the bumble-bees and bee fly on what's got to be my favorite wildflower, 'Blazing Star'.

This loon popped up next to my rowboat near Crex in a lake in Governor Knowles State Forest.  The loon and I were both fishing for bass.

Thanks for checking out my pictures and I hope you enjoyed.  Hopefully I'll have more pictures to share with you soon as I'm sure to be spending many of these wonderfully comfortable summer days out in the woods learning about nature through my camera lens.
