Feathers and Friends




Our local "pond"is a beautiful place to walk around because




there are beautiful things to look at as you wander the short
1/4 mile mile loop trail.




One day I gathered these feathers from the ground and took
them home and put them in a vase.  
Don said "I don't think they're horse feathers, must be
turkey feathers." 



I voted for Goose feathers and here's the proof.





Any "turkey" could tell the difference, don't you think?









By the time I got around the lake,




here they all came!!!









Even those that don't have feathers enjoyed this
beautiful day (77 degrees at 11:00 a.m.).  This turtle
was sitting on a rock checking out his reflection in the pond
next  to a protective post.




And then he gave me his best profile shot,




or maybe he was flirting with a nearby turtle who 
had just ducked out of site... Remember you can click
on any photo for a larger view.  Check the center right edge
to locate the mystery turtle.




Later I had to pause for geese crossing
the path... but I made it home safely anyway!!!
