A Sand County Wildflower Experience.

A Sand County Wildflower Experience.

A few weeks ago I took a day off from my frantic schedule to take in a bit of continuing education at the Leopold Center near Baraboo Wisconsin.

Though I feel like continuing education is a non stop thing in my life, this one caught my eye since it was a bit different then a lot of the Forestry training that I go to, more about the importance of communication with our clients than dealing with the science and business parts of Forestry.

I was also a little excited about the location of this training, next to the site of Aldo Leopolds shack, made famous by his classic “A Sand County Almanac”.

The training was top notch, the contacts made there were too.

And I was very pleased when I turned into the drive way and noticed a wealth of wildflowers throughout the property.

Normally I would have just thought that they were nice to look at and quickly walked on by, but not this time.

This time I was thinking about my friend Belinda, and her August challenge to share a few floral blooms from our area.

So I took this opportunity to make my entry in her challenge something special with special wild flowers from a famous naturalist’s special place.

Thanks for giving me a reason to take a few dozen photos to remember this day by Belinda.

All the green I see in your pictures looks good to these Californian's eyes. Pretty wildflowers, too.

There's beauty all around if we stop and look at nature. Love seeing the wildflower photos, Bob, and your buddies enjoying a cold one at the end of training day.

Bob, I'm glad you remembered this challenge and that it forced you to stop and photograph the flowers along the way. You have a great job, I think. In another life, I might choose forestry. too.

I almost forgot this challenge existed for a while, so he's not in the least totally alone in that, I don't think. Elva Branson-Lee

It's so easy to get wrapped up in the business of the day. This was a great reminder to stop and look at all the beauty around us. Mahalo Bob Crane!
