Living near a Wetlands Area

bluebonnets We see lots of different things here but I don't think I have ever seen bluebonnets around here.

@Tydiakat OH no visitors trampling on the bluebonnets would be bad enough but hate those traffic jams and people acting stupid taking their pictures.

@Marcyaz it would be nice... but when the bluebonnets bloom...in come loads and loads of people trampling them to take pictures and traffic jams in our small town

@buttheadface932 I am in Minnesota near the Iowa border in a small farming town although I am not a farmer nor do I live on a farm. The wildlife is abundant around here.

@Marcyaz Wow!! So lucky! Seems like an obscure, mysterious town with a beautiful landscape

@buttheadface932 Not many people have heard of this town even though it is the county seat of this county and there are like 6 towns I believe with a Total Population of all the towns at 12,000 people so it is very small. We live in the country and have fields near us with the closest neighbor being about one mile away. This town the county seat only has 4500 people but they have had a hotel that is building here and also a company bought an abandoned restaurant and they will be redecorating it and opening it up. They are trying to attract more businesses to the area and are going to have some new housing coming soon.

I am grateful to live here and see all different kinds of wildlife, the grass prairie is different also. I have seen Eagles in Arizona, Oklahoma and Californa and here in Minnesota.

@dpk262006 It is amazing to see all these things nature has to show us.

@Marcyaz - You are indeed lucky that you live near nature and get an opportunity to see eagles.

Come on down and bring those brownies with you Rosekitty and be greeted by the dogs and cats, turtles, deer, turkeys all those in the area you would see as we go around the area showing you things of interest.

@Rosekitty I'll try to hold off sweeping you until after I eat my brownie...

@Marcyaz magic carpet on the way..don't sweep me with your broom

Thanks Ocean, the Wetlands do preserve and maintain the natural assets near here. It is fun to see the birds up in the air, the wildlife on the ground, even the ones underground that pop their heads up every so often.

There are lots of fishing around here but you do have to pay a small fee for a license to fish at the lakes here. Had some photos of some lakes but not able to find them right now but did find one of the turtle in the road.

It is awesome as we see all kinds of wildlife in this area. We try to take photos when we can like the other day a wild turkey was walking in the road but by the time I got my camera ready to take the photo he was in tall grass and you could hardly see him in the photo.
