8/29/16 Partridge and Ducktail Ponds


An early start and more comfortable temps. No wind and no insects- I think the dry summer has kept the mosquito population in check.

Pano of Partridge Pond. Please click separately for large version

Partridge Pond  8-29-16

and , of course, Kelley in the pond


If you cross the stream that comes out of the pond ( almost dry today) you come to a large ledge , which you can see sticking out in picture above


and another chance at the pond


Tree on the trail to Ducktail


 Ducktail Pond






It became quite windy and blew the water across the lily pads so they were just under the water





Last time in Ducktail


That bridge again - and again she went around


Nice day in the woods. Kelley did well though a bit slower ( I may be a bit slower too as we are both aging) . We also had the place to ourselves- very peaceful. 1  3/4 hours

  3. Even though I always look for Kelley in your photos, I really like the scenery and nature shots that you take.
