I have admired the grace of this interloper making her way around our yard for the last two mornings until I discovered she ate all the buds off my lillies and 1/2 the hostas!!!

beginning the chicken tunnel project

Saw this gnarly little guy making his way alongside Maxfield Rd. one evening just before sunset:

Visiting Krantz's Frog Lounge here in Naples. We popped in during off hours but the owner was very accommodating and happy to share his fascinating knowledge with our interested bunch.

First kayak paddle of the season (in the West River), and of all things we saw a swan!
We carefully approached, but just as I raised my camera the swan took flight. I've never seen a swan fly and it's flapping wings made an incredible sound as it flew away that we heard from quite a distance - smooth and even but strong and forceful.

One of the more stunning sunrises this month...
My snapshots make its colors look intense & hot - Actually it was much softer, filling the entire eastern sky with glowing pastels, and for a few moments turned all the snow pink. Views out the back of the barn:


A little squirrel enjoyed the moment with me :)

Spotted the turkeys again, this time while driving past our neighbors' yard. They quickly scurried away when I slowed down the car.
