<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hi All</span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Yesterday was my day for a Keji walk and it was interesting.<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I followed an neglected trail from long ago - still very<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">useable but no maintaince but you can step over the downed trees!<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The blue butterflies were out and plentiful along the trail. Azures I think.<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">They seemed more plentiful near the brook but maybe only by chance.<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">There is quite a range of blue in them when a group are together. They<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">sit with their wings folded over their body - really hard to see then. No<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">other butterflies came to my attention.<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Along the trail is a patch of unusual grass. The pancales  have already shot<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">out and they are a beautiful color. Black from a distance - dark purplish brown<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">up close - only 12 - 15 cm high. I am not sure it is native or if it got there<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">compliments of the horses many years ago.<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">There is a little bridge over the brook - an unassuming structure but I sat<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">there for an hour or so watching the White Suckers. A small school in the area.<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hard to tell how many - they were coming and going. Sort of in the size of 25 - 30 cm.<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Getting ready to spawn - one large one - a female I guess had 5 - 6 suitors in tow.<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Look like they vacuum the moss on the rocks for food. Probably how they got their name.<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Grouse drumming here and there with lots of other interesting things made it a lovely day.<br/></span>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Enjoy the spring<br/></span>
</div>
