And A Time Not To Share

A Red Tail Hawk is enjoying a dinner of some varmint he caught
and decided to eat it while perched on the limb of a pine tree near
our lake. The hawk was there for about one-half hour before finishing
the meal, continually looking around to make sure no other bird was
going to disturb a good meal.

Frozen Lake

Our lake freezes over most winters and provides an opportunity for us to get a different perspective of the lake if we take a walk on the ice. The sun was out this day so we decided to walk around the lake even though the temperature was in the low 20's. We saw a lot of deer tracks as well as some human tracks plus several sets of footprints containing three feet (see picture to follow).

A Sunny, But Cold Day

A Three-Toed Sloth?

We saw several sets of these prints, but do not know

what left them.

A Time to Rest

Judith needed a time out.

Footprints

Not all of these were from our walk. Most of them were
from deer that had been on the lake.

Leaving the Lake
