At the Lake Again

 

This week I walked around the lake again, in the company of good friends. The weather has been sunny, but breezy and not very warm, but perfect for walking. The lake was very still which made for beautiful reflections in the water.

These two Canada Geese were busy with their morning hygiene routine.


Suddenly there was rapid movement on the lake. Thankfully my friend Kris was fast enough to capture a picture of a Red-winged Blackbird and what I think is a Green Heron.


A little bit further down the lake another Canada Goose was swaggering along the dock.


My favorite tree... crooked, of course, and with lots of Poison Oak growing up its trunk.


We thought this tree has a face and looks like a rhino.


Along Fisherman's Trail we saw this beauty, a Black-Crowned Night Heron.



There are so many beautiful places at the lake. We are so very fortunate to have this here.


When we left, the Canada Geese were still busy with preening.


This post's tree and bird faces are for Nicole's Friday Face Off.

  1. Beautiful photographs around the lake, what a lovely spot.
    I agree with you, that tree does have a face which looks like a rhino.

    Enjoy the coming weekend.

    All the best Jan

  4. Wow, der Heron hat ja einen sehr langen Schnabel ;-) Auf den ersten Blick sah das so aus! Darf man in dem See schwimmen? In unserem ist das leider verboten. Also es gibt welche, aber die sind weiter weg und naja.. hier ist es eh meist zu kalt... Hab einen schönen Samstag (ich bin mal wieder "zu spät")

  5. Such a beautiful area, Carola. The Canada Geese are taking so much time with their toilette because they realize how important it is for us to always present a clean, positive image to the world. They have taken this simple truth to heart! Copious hugs - David
