Morning Walks

We have been walking 5 miles each morning for the last month or so.  Since we live in a small-ish town we have lots of open spaces and parks and as a result - lots of critters that we see on our jaunts.

This year for some reason the bunnies have lived up to their reproductive sterotype and they are prolific.  Everyday we see at least 3 and usually more of these cuties as we walk.

Deer - we don't get to see the often but occasionally we get lucky and see them in the wooded areas of our walk.

Birds - we see LOTS of birds on our walks.  A few to call out - our 6 Canadian geese that have taken up residence at the pond in the park - they are there every morning.  We also have tons of turkey vultures in the area and see them perched on the water tower or picking at a meal made of some poor critter that got squished on the road.

Turtles - in the two ponds we pass we see an abundance of turtles.  We also hear but have not seen frogs that sound just like a geiger counter - feels like you are walking through a radio active zone...

When you are plugging along at 6:30 a.m. in gazillion percent humidity - critter distractions are a good thing!!
