Waiting for Rain
I like this place and could willingly waste my time in it.
~ William Shakespeare, As You Like It
This place is never a waste of time - even when half of the ponds/swales are dried-up. Today was no exception.
It was hot. I was irritated. So after a visit with a friend I headed out to the ponds for a little peace - to calm the irritation of plans and schedules going awry.
Here's who was home:
These three. I love the look on the face of the cow. I call this the turtle pond, although it is a manmade tank. |
There's still some water on the far side of this pond and something was in that tree. |
One of the "resident" Bald Eagles was perched above the pond and calling intermittently. |
A Great Egret just beyond the fence line. |
A closer look.
I thought the Scissor-tailed Flycatchers had migrated - apparently not. |
Great Blue Heron - on the south side of the lane. |
