A Blue Flag, spotted & captured by the nature trail at Seney Wildlife Preserve in Upper Michigan. Perhaps the prettiest iris I've ever seen.
Credit where due: Joan spotted it first, and took a similar photo.

Yesterday afternoon we went to Seney National Wildlife Refuge. Saw an Osprey, at least seven Loons (two we got close to), lots of Swans, Cedar Waxwings, Eastern Kingbirds, & many others. Turtles, too, and fishies.
Heard, but did not see, a Sandhill Crane.
It was beautiful.

At Seney Wildlife Refuge, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The duck blind in the background is for watching birds, not hunting....

Another trailside flower from our visit to Seney National Wildlife Preserve in Upper Michigan. Yes, I am crazy about pink roses.

Growing on the edge of the parking lot at Seney Wildlife Refuge in Upper Michigan. Sorry, haven't got the slightest idea what it is.

We saw Great Blue Herons, Ospreys, a young Sandhill Crane, an Eagle's nest (but no Eagle), Loons, and hundreds of more common birds. And some of the finest scenery anywhere under a glorious Michigan sky on a perfect day.
DEET would have been helpful, though. The flies were outrageous.

Explored! #86 on Flickr on Saturday, July 14, 2007. Thanks!
One of Michigan's treasures.. If you take M-28 across the Upper Peninsula, there's a long stretch of road along the edge of the Seney Wildlife Refuge. In the sixties, when I first vacationed in the UP, the trees were all scrubs, and quite frankly it was an ugly road, a super-straight highway through nowhere. Getting off the road to see the scenery just didn't seem like a worthwhile activity; better to hurry on to Tahquamenon, or Munising, or points west.
We didn't know any better.
On a June day in 2002, Joan and I found these fine skies, a handful of Sandhill Cranes, and many smaller birds. And an Osprey, patrolling low over one of the pretty pools.
A final note: Forty years later, the trees have matured and M-28, though still generally judged to be dull, is far more interesting. There's still little clue about these nearby delights, though.
