Santiago Oaks

We recently went to Santiago Oaks for our nature studies. It was beautiful!

My friend identified this plant for me after I had first posted. It's Datura which is highly toxic if ingested so it wouldn't be a plant you'd want in your yard.




We saw this swallowtail butterfly just hanging out. We thought it might have been injured at first but it wasn't too sunny yet so it was probably just trying to stay warm.


On our walk to the dam



When we got to the dam this little crawfish was guarding our (his) rocky path. He wasn't very friendly either. he'd snap at you if you got too close.




The kids saw a bag dispenser on our walk and thought the perfumed bags would be a good thing to hold onto for anything they wanted to collect.


We walked a little further to have lunch and draw in our journals





It was a fun little outing!
