Muskegon Lake Nature Preserve and Muskegon State Park

2010 September 20.  We met at Muskegon Lake N. P. due to construction on U.S. 31. This is a nice little preserve with lots of boardwalks along Muskegon Lake just near the causeway. 

From the Boardwalk at Muskegon Lake N. P.                    

                              Blue Vervain
                  Bur Marigold


Next we went to a special place at Muskegon State Park, Lost Lake.
                        Cross-leaved Milkwort

                          Sand Jointweed
(noticed the green dots on two of the five petals, how curious! And this flower is tiny 1/8 inch)

Yes another great day!

    All the plant photos are great but my favorite is the Sand Jointweed. Why does it have little green spots on two of its five teeny, tiny petals? Your scenic views will always bring back the day, even in the wintertime. M
