Ummm, I don’t have a whole lot to say, I guess, but please enjoy the photos I took this weekend. First up – pics from Saturday afternoons walk with my youngest at Sweet Marsh. Had to see how high the water is for this weekends duck hunting.
I wonder if there is a nice buck calling this place home. I've run across some nice tracks a couple of times in this area.
Love the deep blues and greens of fall in the marsh. See the maples in the treeline turning?
Lowest I've seen the water in the 35 years I have been shooting wood ducks back here.
Believe it or not, that blue in the sky is not "photo shopped."
It was quite a stretch for my puny camera, but these are sandhill cranes. This marsh has a breeding pair or two.
Butterfly trying to suck up the very last bits of nectar from this thistle's fading blooms.
AND – I took my boys squirrel hunting Sunday. I could get into quite a spiel I guess with my feelings about this. But I’m pretty sure you have an idea whats happening in my chest and brainbox.
He could have had a couple more, but he was a little axious. Happens.
Dryad saddle - edible in the spring when young and fresh.
One of my most favorite places on earth - a spring flowing out of a woodland hillside.
Drank some brew, also -
Not as good as last years, but still good. More Octoberfest to come now that my cold is almost gone!
Peace and take care -

Hey Casey,
You do live in a beautiful place and once more you’ve caught the feel of it with your photographs. I see the youngsters are following in your footsteps, you must have a glow inside.
