The title will become understandable towards the end, okay?
Day one: Thursday
 |
| Robin footy |
 |
| Some trees finally budding |
 |
| Amazingly enough, he found his way out of this. |
 |
| A dip in the Duck Pond. |
 |
| Take-off |
 |
| To say we have a LOT of turtles this year is accurate. I counted a whopping 14 napping in the swamp. |
 |
| Woody, guardian of the swamp |
 |
| A wood duck and (somewhere) his wife |
 |
| But only the second ground hog I've seen- too far away for Boofus |
 |
| Blue-winged teal at the alumni pond |
Day Two: Saturday
 |
| Finally in full springtime regalia |
 |
| And- unfortunately- soccerista season opens |
 |
| Toby and master. We met up a couple of times. |
 |
| Dude launching a fan boat on the river. |
 |
| Sang us a sweet song as we went by |
 |
| Now the Dutchman's Britches are popping |
 |
The flowers just seemed so happy to be alive.
|
 |
| The young Buckeyes are leafing out |
Day Three: Sunday
 |
| I thought this was gonna be a PSA on not leaving your dog unattended, but the owner came out right after the snap from buying a drink inside the Plex. |
 |
| KC Martin, master baiter. |
 |
| "Hey, where's MY pole?" |
 |
| "You mean we just SIT here? This sucks..." |
 |
| Woody, guardian of... oh, never mind. |
 |
"Help, anybody! They're hanging me!"
"Well, you IS a horse thief..." |
 |
| Trying the other side, as the current was bringing the line to shore |
 |
| Yeah, that fishing thing is too much like work. |
 |
| Guess who sat in a big pile of last year's cockleburrs? |
 |
| Our only catch of the day- the elusive stick fish |
 |
| Not only were there a lot of turtles, but frogs were everywhere. They wouldn't even move for us. They were in a sunshine coma. |
 |
| That is one big turtle... |
 |
| This guy actually swam up to this log, climbed up, and just looked at us. Meanwhile, another one jumped up and hit scrappy in the nose. |

Well, there you go. Two pics of frogs mating, and they're fuzzy, too! If you look close, you can see eggs in pic 2 between the little one's legs.

DeleteChris:
ReplyDelete---Okay, with all those TURTLE pics (and that HUGE one sunning on that log), you went and made me hungry.
I'm thinking SNAPPER SOUP now!
(pass the sherry)
---Love the "Scrappy" comments.
---And those robins in the FIRST pic look like they're got some kind of medieval dance thing going on.
(maybe a "safety" dance?)
---Frogs doing the swamp-time "mambo"...who knew?
---(Note to KC: AVOID the cockle-burrs!)
---LOL - STICK-FISH.
(bets those BOOT fish ANY day.
Great weekend photos.
Stay safe up there, brother.
As much as my folks loved turtle, I never cared for it overmuch.
DeleteWell, Scrappy is fairly witty...
I HOPE you aren't referencing that Men Without Hats tune, Safety Dance. Gosh I hated that...
Funny: KC wasn't sitting there but a few minutes when he said, "I think I have a thorn in my shorts"... Little did he know.
This is the closest I got to a walk this morning as I have Leo here and can't leave him home alone while I go out although he is still in bed asleep at the moment but still can't leave him alone so no walk for me this morning
ReplyDeleteWell, sorry I couldn't help exercise, but at least you got the view!
