Take The Shot

We were hiking (in the mud) when I saw a bird land in a tree some distance away. I thougth to myself, 'this is a long shot, but maybe .. ". I zoomed as much as possible and shot this photo.

I guess I was surprised at how well it came out. Not my best photo, but not bad all things considered. Sometimes you just take the shot .. you never succeed if you don't take the shot.

Have a good day and take the shot.

And Then Ice …

The pond was super muddy looking, but there was no ice on this day. Since then the temperatures have dropped so there may be some ice when we go back. It is that time of year.

Muddy Hike

Even with all the rain, we decided we needed to get out and hike so we head over to Maple Ridge Reserve. We kind of figured it would not be too wet given the type of trails at this location.

Well, we reached the point in the first photo and decided to see how it was. Sadly, it was extra wet. The ground was saturated with water and very muddy .. see my boots.

We had to give poor Cooper a bath. We really didn't see much but it was good to be out in nature. Sometimes you just need too enjoy the discomfort.

Red Beauty

I had the big camera this time. What a beautiful bird. ❤️ I guess he was shy and turned away in the second photo.

More Stuff Is Growing

The warm weather continues .. as does the rain. The thing about warm, spring like weather is that with these warmer temps and all the water, stuff grows 😳.

Teresa captured both of these photos. I love both of them.
