My favorite from the morning
Memorial Day seems to be the unofficial start of summer, and tourist season. Several tents were on the beach, their occupants all asleep this early in the morning.
These campers chose the shelter of the rock
But slept outside
Trying out some shutter speed stuff--this was at 1/2 second
Tent #4
The fiddleheads were still curled up
This one was opening up
They look like heads bowed in prayer
They grow in clusters in the woods
I think I'm having my own study in biology out here. I've learned about fiddleheads, and also about pussy willows. Pussy willows have male and female plants. The pussy willows bloom, and have either stamen (male) or pistils (female). The pussy willow below has bloomed, but is it male of female?
After the rain we had last week, the stream is still flowing to the lake. I was able to hop across without going around, though.
The sun really brightened things up!
I stopped by the pond to see if the ducks were there, but only two geese and a different duck were there.
Continuing my biology lesson, I believe this is a lesser scaup duck
When I got too close, the geese took off
