Friday Dec 5th

Well, early Thursday morning I got out some of the Christmas decorations. I worked on putting things around till 11:30 when we decided to quit for a while and go for a ride to watch trains since it wasn't raining or snowing. This first shot is on Findley Lake and a large flock of ducks swam into view. I got a couple of pictures before they went way out to the middle of the lake. I've been searching through my Sibley's but for the life of me can't ID them. I'm leaning toward Ring-necked ducks, but hope somebody out there can HELP me. I cropped the other shot in hopes it will help. They were so far away, and really looked all black. It's amazing what you will see when you get home and upload your images.
On our way we passed the grape fields all sleeping now after a very good harvest.

The Norfolk Southern was running, but we've noticed lately all the train traffic is down. A sign of the sinking economy? ?
Also notice NO snow. We were about 5 miles from Lake Erie and they didn't get very much from that last event. Most is already melted.
When you leave the spot where we watch trains you climb a long road to the top of a hill, and you can see Canada from this vantage point. I think it is Long Point.
Even though it was a really cloudy day this big ship is still recognizable. 20 some miles away.
Checking out all the streams for wildlife. None here.
Driving by this farmers big corn crib we spotted this darling little doe. She must be this years baby.

I hope she hasn't eaten all this corn by herself. She will have a tummy ache! LOL. Seriously I'm sure other deer plus mice and rats have helped.
She didn't mind that I stopped to take her picture till along came a loud vehicle, and then she ran away.
As we neared home this stream was full of Mallards.
They also decided it was time to head out!

Watery Wednesday

This shot is 30 miles across Lake Erie of a power plant in Canada. We were high up on a hill, and quite often see this view if the skies are clear
