Miscellany
Well, this post will have no rhyme nor reason. Just some photographs that I’ve taken over the last few days. Some from the backyard, some from beyond.
I’m finally starting to catch up to the chipmunks now. I think the score might be almost even. We have plenty of tomatoes so I’m not going to complain any more.
Henry, our handyman, is tearing down the old porch in the back and building us a new one. It was more rotten than first thought. Isn’t that the way it always is? After this is finished, the painter will come and finish what we started, which isn’t much.
A green heron we spotted last night on our walk at Viking Park which is on the River here in Stoughton.
Today we walked in Madison at a place called Frautschi Point which is part of the Lakeshore Preserve on Lake Mendota. Hardly any people, which we like, and lots of birds. This is a Great-Crested Flycatcher.
This Leopard frog is much more brown than the one we saw in the grass last week. This one was in the woods and more brown than green. A good example of adapting to the environment.
Common, but awful cute and curious.
Earlier in the spring we walked in the same place and saw literally thousands of tiny toads hopping on the path in the woods. I’m sure not too many survived but this little guy did.
The chickadee picture is awesome! Karen would like a framed print of that photo, can we do that or would that be copy right infringement?
I’ll send you a larger file and you can do whatever you want with it. I’m happy to share any of my photos!
