Mind you, I will let those whose family members made the ultimate sacrifice carry the holiday ball, except for a heartfelt...
So Sunday evening we took a 9 PM walk. Mind you, the pics are affected by my camera's lack of being able to take dark pics without a steady hand and a tripod (neither of which I have)...

Right off the bat, deer #1
|
 |
Caught the varmint... on the way home, we'd hear him and the Mrs splashing back in
|
 |
Deer #2
|
 |
At the swamp, lilacs
|
 |
Misty sensed varmintage, but found no evidence
|
 |
Moon, duh
|
 |
| Venus |
 |
| Vega |
 |
| Mars |
 |
Almost home
|
 |
| Canopus |
And that brings us to Monday morning- and Misty insisting on the 2-hour River Walk tour...

Caught the Indigo Bunting today!
|
 |
Saw this last night- apparently they had a 5K yesterday
|
 |
Fisher dude... by the time we re-crossed the bridge, he was shirtless
|
 |
Our lookout near the Duck Pond, from the other side
|
 |
The Yellowwood standing out
|
 |
The view from "our hiding spot"
|
 |
She loved wading here, nearly brought me along
|
 |
Time to turn around and head for home
|
 |
"Definite varmintage here..."
|
 |
"..and here..." and all the way back to the bridge
|
 |
The member of the group who doesn't consume the river raw is getting thirsty
|
 |
Another chill at the Alumni Pond
|
 |
Goslings gettin' big
|
 |
And no stop at the pond is complete without the varmint
|
 |
...and, no walk in the woods without disc golfers...
|
 |
Misty met up and said hi to buddy Archie and his mom
|
 |
Mr Kitty greats us at home

Such a lovely walk on such an important day
ReplyDeleteAnd we paid for it the rest of the day...
DeleteSo are those irises or lilacs? Is there a kind of swamp lilac I don't know about? I have two lilac bushes, twenty feet apart. One is just about done blooming the other is just starting. The difference? the amount of sun they get. Crazy. My Irises I planted 3 years ago finally made an appearance, one peach and two white. I split a bunch last year so I'm hoping they are resting. My normal "ton" of purple have amounted to three, and I only have one yellow as opposed to the normal twenty or so. I need to do a walking post, or even just a picture post. Something introspective about them. Enjoy what's left of the day/weekend my friend.
ReplyDeleteNo, my brain just switched names, Irises not Lilacs...
Deletethecontemplativecat here. I loved the first photo of Dr. Who actor. He was always good to watch. Your photos are excellent.
ReplyDeleteYep, he's my go-to for salutes!
