Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge

 Tired of the same-old same-old I googled "best hikes in Genesee County" and this name came up.  It's a 40 minute drive, but what the hell.

 Look at us - all excited for our walk.  By the time it was over, we'd be dragging (the shortcut on the map was washed out)

 It's the Michigan Everglades!  Well, it's wetlands, with a raised path for us visitors.  Lots of bugs!

 Very pretty.  Sun-dappled.

 A heron, I think.  There were TONS of these guys all over the place.

 Now we're on the longer car drive round the reserve.  Beware of mimsers!  As you can see, there's no way round them, and it's all one way.

 The Shiawassee River.

Frogs!
