Mainly because:a) no earth shattering finds to share, and b) the new exercises I have to do for PT about killed my Sunday (slight exaggeration).  Anyhow, here's New Year's Day- which I somehow woke up for...
  | 
| Tiny bit of snow left from last year | 
  | 
| Ducks chillin' in the Swamp | 
  | 
| I remember when this was part of a living tree, long ago.  Now it looks (with some imagination) like the ruins of a mountain fortress | 
  | 
| "Oh, great, here come those two..." | 
  | 
| "I'll pose for a change.  It IS a new year, after all." | 
  | 
| "HEY!  Pay attention to ME!" | 
On the 4th, we saw something we hadn't seen all year...
  | 
| "...blue sky!" | 
  | 
| Somebody went to Sky Zone Trampoline park, somewhere by Glenbrook Mall. | 
  | 
| "Man, the moles are awful this year..." | 
  | 
| This is that little bitty nest at the end of the branch I tried to get before... | 
  | 
| At least three of 'em were yelling at us.  The quiet one posed. | 
  | 
| Misty knocks out her 4 times a year tangle #1.... | 
  | 
| Somebody played toss the log in the creek... | 
  | 
| This is Oreo... she don't like people, but she liked Misty | 
  | 
| One end is iced | 
  | 
| Recent varmintage | 
The next day was too cold to enjoy our walk, but we did see a moose...
Saturday was icky, and we stayed home and drank Golden Monkeys...
Sunday, like I said, was a total pain-wash, but once again we are on a 4-8's schedule this week (Tell your friends to buy boat covers!), so we got one more in...
  | 
| I have to put on 'fast-motion' to get Misty when she's rampaging for a walk, and those come out dark | 
  | 
| At least the snow's gone- but it will be back tonight, followed by a full day of rain | 
  | 
And here we have idiots cutting up their tree and taking it to the recycle just dumping it | 
  | 
| Moles really are out of hand this year | 
  | 
| Pond is fully frozen over | 
 
Great photos, I have never seen a frozen pond nor have I ever had any experience with moles.
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, a long time ago and with no idea how, I caught one in a mouse trap in my bedroom closet once...
