It was a beautiful day today...warm and sunny. This afternoon I went to Hyde Park to look for butterflies. The butterflies were fluttering around and there were some dragonflies too.

There is a farmers field beside the pond. With a fence and bushes it's not always easy to look over the fields. Way in the distance, I could see black things moving. I got my camera on them and there were 5 wild turkeys running around. Then I saw a Great Blue Heron fly over and landed in a tree way in the distance.
