Around Here

I took a creek walk yesterday afternoon., and managed to see this Wood duck drake before he spotted me. Something I rarely can do. They have to be my all time favorite duck. We found a dead one several years ago on our upper trail, and I was so amazed at the beautiful colors. I did get a couple more shots before he swam away.

About this time he did see me and off he went.

Of course Azrael always accompanies me on my walks. These 2 stumps are where we sit in the early spring to do some birdwatching before too many leaves come out on the trees.

Some fungi on a fallen log.

It's time to get the last of the higher up apples. We picked up this vintage apple picker many years ago at an auction, and it works great!

It's going to be another nice day, BUT looking at the extended forecast there is some pretty unsure weather coming early next week, cold and possible SNOW, so we'd better enjoy these good ones while we can.

Have a wonderful day all.
