Earth Day Hike

On Earth day we went on a hike through the local urban forest. 
The wildlife was out in full force! This little lizard was just catching some sun...
And this squirrel dropped the nut it was holding while it was staring at Kat. 
She tried to give it back, and they had some pretty silly interactions. 
The flowers were blooming...
And we almost stepped on this guy! Only a gopher snake, but still!
We also saw more lizards, hummingbirds, hawks bunnies, ducks, coots, and egrets. Check it out!
At home, we had a little more wild kingdom going on in a tree in our cul-de-sac. Apparently it's swarming season for the bees, and as they migrate the queen gets tired. She lands on a branch to rest, and all the bees cover her to protect her. It's a pretty crazy sight! They left after 48 hours, and left behind a small, white honeycomb. Pretty cool! You can see the bees buzzing and barely moving as they cover the tree branch in this video.
