A Miserable Saturday....cloudy, windy and cold. Very unpleasant.....still, it looks pretty in this photo.
Mary Lou has two teasels to check out how velcro was invented
Linda and her dog, Glory
The trail was flooded as I predicted. We were meeting people coming the other way and they told us that they couldn't get through (without getting pretty wet) and turned around and came back...that's what we did. I would have liked to have seen the flooded area and got a picture.
This sight was worth the walk...two Bald Eagles being "mobbed" by a "cloud" of blackbirds...wow, what a cool sight.
Hawk watchers turned out in this weather and let me tell you it was cold and very windy by the water. Hope they were rewarded with a few hawk sightings.
Some ahead and some behind
Mallards...hello to you too mister!
Last of the summer flowers....Jerusalem Artichoke, I think
New England Aster
Kevin checking out some Warblers
This is Mary Lou's pet Shrew. The fact that it has been dead for 5 years and she keeps it in the refrigerator makes the story even more interesting. Well, of course, I am kidding about the pet bit but it brought to question why women are sometimes referred to as "shrews" I googled it and could not find out what behavior of the shrew makes it comparable to a nasty woman other than Shakespeare's play "Taming of the Shrew" If anyone know let us in on it.
Very tiny...look at that snout...you can see the relation to a mole.
