Walkabout

Just back from our spring Walkabout. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walkabout We had a great trip and we always enjoy having the camera along with us in this beautiful place.





Critter Corner starts here, we did not see as many Moose this year and most that we did see were camera shy. Thankfully they were not the only game in town.






With scenery like this all around I came to realize that any animals that we saw were just a bonus anyway. I think that helped me focus on the beauty of Gods creation all the more.













The end of some perfect days are represented by these last photos, thanks for sharing them with us.

Birds Eye View

These recent photo's highlight the amazing beauty of the birds around us.





Each species has its own unique beauty and Style.

Trail Mix

Recent outings on the trails provided the opourtunity to check out for a while and find out what is happening in the natural world.
High water this season has kept some of our favorite spots flooded, but has given us some new looks in familiar places.
Displaced by the high waters many animals were moving outside of their normal range, the tracks that you see here are an indication. I will leave the identification to those leaving comments!


Last year the Apple Blossoms kind of snuck up on me while I was concentrating on other things, this year I made a promise to myself to stay up on them as they developed.




We have seen and enjoyed lots of birds some are local and some just passing through our area. This Northern Flicker is right at home here.



Ducks like this Mallard are paired up and nesting in our valley this time of year.
This shall forever be known as " A SHOT OF WILD TURKEY ON THE ROCKS"

Marsh

This week I've been hanging around the Marsh quite a bit. Its great to be around these Wetlands in the Spring when they are bursting with new life.





The sunsets on the water can be incredible, words do a poor job describing them, I think these pictures do much better.

This is a good way to finish off a day.
Nesting Canada Geese seem to be having a conversation about something, maybe its about that Guy with the Camera!

Some Anger Management would seem to be in order for this Woodpecker. I hope he found something after all of that.
I hope you enjoy the sights of this beautiful place as much as I do, thanks for checking in.
