Another warm sunny day ! We got a late start because I had to be home for the furnace guy.
We started from the end of Kittredge Rd. so Kelley could have the beaver pond both at the start and the finish
There were others enjoying this nice day and we met several people, including a couple and their dog we often meet ( some chatting) and even two women on horses.
Found a little more coltsfoot
We took the side trail over to the old rail bed.
A small stream crosses the trail
Still no leaves on the trees
Another small stream just off the rail bed
Almost finished - this tree is over 12 inches in diameter
First insect - just a fly
This was done at a leisurely pace - Kelley was very interested in all the scents along the way. She also got into water numerous times. Very pleasant outing. 2 hours
I bet Kelley is happy as can be to get out in that water again.
ReplyDeleteShe is, Kim. It was a long winter with almost no open water - usually we get some. Now she takes advantage of every opportunity
DeleteNice beaver dam! Did you spot any beavers?
ReplyDeleteHi Linda- we see lots of beaver dams and lodges and trees felled by them but we never see the beavers- not sure why that is.
DeleteAh, that tree is almost to the point of the "timber" cry! That just happened last week where someone came in to cut off 6 trees, to make place for a "barn" (aka studio).
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and commenting
DeleteHi John
ReplyDeleteWe just had our first really warm weekend, and a tiny rain on Monday--and that's all it took to get the leaves popping out. It was just overnight-from blah to beautiful. Hope you get the right conditions soon.
Beautiful photos as always
Sue
Thank you Sue. We have had several warm days and rain is forecast in next few days- that should do it.
DeleteThat fly is quite detailed--I love it! And, also good that Kelley had a good time while you took the great pictures!
ReplyDeleteThank you Betty - Kelley is very happy with all the water.
