Pictures! Yay!

 It was generally nice this week, but when you see this Saturday, it will be cold.  So enjoy when it wasn't!  

First, Tuesday...

Could you PLEASE slow down?

Apparently, this walk is brought to you by the letter N... or maybe Z...

Swamp's still frozen

Uh-oh, river's down

I had to step this close to glop just for her to get her feet muddy...

We took the long way back along the Swamp Woods... good thing, too

"Speak for yourself. I wanted to meet the doggie!"

Pond has a frozen racing stripe through the middle

"If I can't get a drink at the river, then puddles it is!"

Funny story here.  One squirrel decides to 'escape us' up the short, skinny tree; the other looks up at it, says, "This is stupid", goes up the big tree.  First squirrel says, "I feel like an honest idiot."

Gorgeous night... but I long for the colors of spring.

Wednesday...

New utility marks... yesterday, in an area down the street fully marked by several utilities, a contractor hit a water line.  I'm not real confident here...

Hey, neighbors, lose a diaper?  Right here...

Yet another tree into the river.  I'm betting at least two more down this way will be going before next year...

When me and Scrappy first began exploring here, there were lots of hidden trails.  This might be the last....

BIG day for robins...

...and the Redwings are back

Now here, she can get in

Every time we come up from the river and I see this rock up ahead, it makes me think it's a ground hog

Misplaced signs, part I: the bottom of north canal is not an optimum placement for a hiring sign, Trellerborg...

Friday, after my PT...

The face of a man who gets next week off PT, and might be having his last appointment the week after...

When this guy walked past I saw him out the corner of my eye and said, "Is that Hunter Fieri?"

One side of Groundhog Road...

...and the other

Guess you're welcome to sit..

I was trying to figure out what bird this was.

Kinda hard from distance

"Must walk through slop..."

A quick drink...

Oh, but let me use the boardwalk the last 3 feet..

Misty photobombing the upcoming joke

Mole: "Finally, I'm out from under that hard packed path!  Now I can really get goi..." BONK

Evidence one that a smart dog's mind is comparable to a 2-year-olds: "must walk through the geographic center of the puddle"

Proud to announce that the "Misty's Woods Hobo Camp" is gone, and their trash cleared.

Ducks chillin' in the "Ravine River"

And the Alumni Pond

Poor sign placement II:  The Holiday Inn Maintenance entrance is NOT at the bottom of south canal

Does this not look like a jack-o-lantern looming evilly over Ft Wayne?

How about now?

River's up!

Hmm... that's, well, new
