Short walk at Lake Tomahawk

 

Even on a grey day, one can find beauty at the lake. Reflections are softened.



This Canada Goose couple owned the right of way for walkers, but would let us pass if we didn't look too threatening. I do wonder what they think of the black cards/phones which people point at them like I did here.

The Mallard families waddled away from the lake, and I do hope they were cautious as they cross the road in the distance.

An Oak Hydrangea still had last year's blooms' skeletons, while the new growth is bursting forth!

What's the password please? 

And then there was the cherry tree.





Since the B&B beyond the fence is no longer in business, but sold to a private family, I do hope someone keeps these beautiful gardens up.



Today is:

National Take a Walk in the Park Day, 
Doctors Day

    1. True enough, but I think of them as springtime glories.

    1. We never can tell, these days. Our poor Farmer's Almanac is sadly not prepared for climate change.

    1. I like using dried flowers, and those hydrangeas seem to last a long time.

So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
