Weekend Reflections

On our way to town we pass this pond. On this day the water was so still. There are Snapping turtles in this pond, so we never see any ducks...
Thanks to James for hosting this cool meme.

We had a gorgeous day Monday, and I wandered out to try to take a walk on the one trail that isn't under water. This first shot is at the entrance to the "Llama" trail. I found this fungus growing on a low lying branch.

This is actually part of our pond ( in the foreground), and French Creek in the background. It doesn't look very wide, but is around 30 ft. across at this point. Way down stream about 40 miles we saw on TV last night there are several ice jams. We live roughly 15 miles from the beginning of French Creek, and do get ice jams here too, but nothing is happening yet. You can see a small stream cut in between the pond and the creek that the beavers have made.
The snow on the trail is about 18" deep and hard enough to walk right on top.

We took a ride right at dusk to find the deer, and weren't disappointed. There were lots of them at the corn crib.
This shot isn't very clear, but I loved the expression on the faces, and the difference between the young and the older does.

I tried a flash shot and got a different look.
On the way home that moon was so pretty, and the sun was gone at this point. I waited too long to get a picture of it.

The temperature got up to 54ยบ today, ( Tuesday) and melted so much snow. It was very windy too. On Wednesday we are supposed to have rain later in the day, maybe even a thunder storm and already there is a high wind watch for our area.
Take care everyone.

Watery Wednesday

This is a pond about 5 miles from home. During the fall, there are hundreds of geese there every day. Believe me it isn't pleasant walking around the pond! You have to watch every step. This picture was taken 4 years ago.
