4-3-18 a walk on the wild side:

With the weather being so beautiful the last couple of days and more cold weather on the way, it was time to get back into the preserve and look for wild flowers.  So I had Ken drop me off by Costco on our way back from the bank and I headed to the stairs to the preserve from Mall of Georgia Blvd near Costco. 

heading down the stairs.

Nov.   Ivy Creek Greenway and Mill Creek Nature Center:

Still having unseasonably warm weather, so it was time to get out on the trail again.  This time I walked East.

9-2-17  walk into Mill Creek Nature Center and Ivy Creek Greenway:

For over a year now I've been referring to all my walks through the preserve adjacent to our apartment complex as walks on the Ivy Creek Greenway.  Today I actually realized that the area off the Greenway, where the Boyscouts have made trails, boardwalks, and bridges, and some viewing platforms, is actually Mill Creek Nature Center.  I haven't often gone into the Nature Center since it is about a 2 mile walk just to get there, but I have discovered it is pretty nice in there.  I was going to group my walks in the Greenway pretty much by month now, but I took my Olympus TG-4 with me today and took a bunch more pictures then I usually do, so am making this a post by itself.
This guys was actually still in the apartment complex grounds as I was walking to the greenway.  I had to watch him awhile to make sure he really wasn't just a leaf. 

 When I got to the Greenway, I headed East.    This Gulf Fritillary posed for me.
