Gorilla Fields in June
Water still standing in the Gorilla Fields in June makes the grass grow tall. Little frogs are everywhere, and baby birds forage the puddles with their parents. There is a family of them hiding in these reeds, but I wasn't quick enough to catch them on camera. This is haying time: the alfalfa fields are cut first, then the meadow hay. It'll be mid-July before the hay crew can risk cutting this field. CKD photos
