Good Morning all. It's only 46º here and although we have clear skies, it continues to be foggy .
This is another of our trails I have forgotten to mention. The upper trail or Llama trail is in a "U" shape. This trail called Shortcake trail goes from one side of the Llama trail to the other. It winds around, has 2 birdhouses, and small sitting bench. Early morning clouds.

On my walk yesterday, dodging and slapping at the mosquitoes, I spotted this spider all rolled up in a Milkweed leaf.

The entrance to his "den" is littered with bugs.

Milkweed Tiger Moth caterpillar. Looks like a little mop doesn't he?

The Pale Tiger Moth caterpillar, is the same as in my header.

Newly mowed hay field.

I like the star on this silo. Sorry about the car and all the wires, but as Gary says, " It's just a photography fact of life sometimes."

Cute little female Goldfinch . Soon all the males will look like this too after loosing all the beautiful yellow color in their feathers in preparation for winter.

She seemed to be sunning herself.

Last but not least, it's goose season here, and early yesterday morning even before dawn these guys were out in the field across the road from us with their decoys. They did shoot a few geese, and they don't stay very long . After they make all that noise once or twice the geese get wary and won't come around, so the guys have to move on. I hate to see them kill the geese, but I understand it's better than letting them starve through the winter, and the geese population has grown to hundreds around here.
