Pictures

Well, this week I was pretty quiet... so let me make up for it in the pictures I had sitting in my camera.  First, from the 10th...

This was the day I tried walking the disc golf course to see how big it was.  Had a perfect shot of this deer in the middle of it, but my cheap camera batteries didn't like how cold it was and gave the camera sudden epilepsy.  I did catch him in the brush, though.


Afterwards, the boys came over for a belated birthday party for Peanut that we missed in the hospital.  No, Wiggles wasn't being a brat; Gammaw Laurie was not trying to strangle him.

Peanut became the proud owner of a trampoline, and we all had ice cream cake.

"Well, except for me..."


We skip ahead to a walk on the 18th wherein I saw something I hadn't seen in a few years, and never in broad daylight...

No, not the squirrel...



A skunk!



Then we come all the way up to this morning...


Frosty this morning- but no wind, so it was pretty pleasant...

Heron looking for a water spot that wasn't frozen

...and it ain't the Swamp

How about the river?



Yep, the river works!

Just to remind you you're in Ft Wayne... ducks sail past a shopping cart

In the woods, two squirrels playing.  I did see a deer in the ravine, but he saw me first.


I got up to about 6 feet from this guy before he decided to move...

  1. Peanut and Wiggles are such cuties! ☺ And I enjoyed the nature photos, as well. We see skunks around here, all the time. Have a good weekend!

    1. We used to see the skunks a lot more, but a lot of brush has been cleared where you CAN go, and they usually go where we don't. The last one we saw was a couple years back, almost all white, digging up grubs all over the back yard.

  4. We have a few skunk families around here. I usually see them at dusk in the spring. Not much to report for wildlife here though, just renegade turkey herds and I did see an owl carrying it's prey the other day in the mail truck. Funny, on that one road I see more than I see even in the woods around here.
