On Tuesday, Oct. 11th, my friend Karen and I played hookey for the afternoon to get a guided tour of the
Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve. It was a bit of an overcast day, but it was still fun to be out and about in a beautiful natural setting.
While it's not exactly prime blooming time for most wildflowers, we did get to see some pretty things along the way. And these asters were happily in bloom for us:
Karen, with her eagle eyes, also spotted this little snail on a twig, which was cool:
And who knew that these prickly pear cacti are actually native to NJ?
Here are the two other women on the walk and our docent walking ahead of us. It's really a beautiful place and I look forward to going back in the spring when more flowers are in bloom.
