A chilly walk

Hello Friends!  It has been too long since I came on to share my pictures, but with the holiday and work, I have found myself rather busy.  But then, I am sure all of you folks can appreciate that.  This morning I decided to brave the cold air and overstuffed belly and take a walk down by the river.  It was just a short safari, but I was able to capture a few good shots.  The air was cold, and the wind was brisk, but the sun was shining bright.  I stalked the majestic eagle, and snuck up on a lone mourning dove.  The geese had taken flight, and the moon seemed reluctant to give up his place to the sun.

Thanks for visiting!  I have a  few more, but I will save those for tomorrow.  See you soon!

Leftovers

Here are a few pics from previous excursions that did not make it online the first time around (ok, the sunbeams actually are from today).  I have not had a chance to get out and take new pics, so I am hitting the archives again.

Enjoy!

Foggy, Foggy Morning

For three days straight, Bay City’s mornings have been shrouded in fog.  This morning, it lay like the proverbial pea soup.  I felt a trip to the river was in order to see what mysteries were lurking in the fog.

The Riverwalk foot bridge, deserted, disappears into the fog.

Normally bright and cheery, the trees of the park stand like sentinels at the edge of the fog.

Further down the river, the remains of the shipwrecks appear like ghosts in the mist.

At last, the mysterious presence is revealed.  A small hawk hides in the shrouded tree, eyes alert for danger.

I hope you will forgive my poetic mood.  Fog does that to me.  Thanks for visiting.

Sometimes, my job has its perks

Today my job sent me out on some back country roads, looking for a particular store.  I have learned when this happens to take my camera with me.  I did today, and was glad.

First, I came across a small flock of wild turkeys in a field, quite close to the road.

Later, I spotted a white tail deer at the very back of a field.  It really was too far away for a good picture, but I gave it a try and come up with this.

It is not perfect, but I finally got my buck!

A few more…

Here are a few more pictures from my weekend safari.  Nothing special, I just thought they were kind of cute.  Enjoy!

He will never see me!  I am hidden behind this tree… I am invisible!
