One sure sign of late summer at Palmer Lake is the Touch-me-Not plants. On the south side they're thick and will grow to a height near six feet. As I was admiring all the little orange flowers I noticed a doe right there in the middle of them looking back at me. I thought maybe I'd see the fawns with her but the "jewel weeds" would have been much too tall to even see them anyway.
Something else growing like crazy in the summertime are rabbits. From spring all the way through summer, It's not uncommon to see young ones in groups of six or more. These two were devouring any greenery in sight including Cattail stems. I always wondered how Coyotes could survive at Palmer Lake and now I think I know the answer.
