What we estimated would take us only two hours or so turned into a four hours hike as the children stopped often to wow over the nature's treasures that we find along the way. Luckily we prepared some food and were able to stop for a picnic at the tower.
Near the beginning of the trail, w
e saw what we thought were red berries on a shrub. On closer look, it's this little red insect.
The children were amused by this pair of lovers next to the boardwalk!
This hairy little fellow was sunning itself when we happened upon it.
A crowd soon formed as the passers-by stopped to take pictures of the caterpillar.
The ants were pretty huge in the forest. These were about an inch long.
Near the end of the trail, we came across this beautiful butterfly, the "eyes" on its wings staring at you unblinkingly.
