My favorite spot – note the moss on the old oak’s arms as they reach across the path to provide a squirrel’s safe passage.
In honor of Blogger’s Lazy Day, otherwise known as Wordless Wednesday, I’m posting a few pictures from my daily walks around the local reservoir.
The lonely paddle boats yearn for the weekend when they can take to the waves to chase the geese.
A few weeks ago, after a rain, the grasses sparkled with dew and tiny wild flowers could be spotted here and there but now lack of rain is causing them to turn to straw.
Even these lowly weeds decorating the stinkeree have a certain grandeur in the spring, don’t you think?
Okay, I didn’t quite achieve wordlessness (I’m a writer – what do you expect?) But I have definitely achieved laziness. Happy Blogger’s Lazy Day!
JT – it’s a good thing to be lazy now and then… Do you see many people fishing in that local reservoir? If so, are they catching trout? Did you see any bald eagles catching those trout 🙂
Oh yes – usually there are oodles of fishermen. This morning they were stocking the lake with trout while we were there. The fish were jumping out of the water and so the rangers had to patrol the area in motorboats chasing the seagulls away! Quite a sight. Next Lazy Blogger day I’ll post pics of the fisherman’s favorite spots.
I love this idea Jan, wordless Wednesday should force us to talk only in pictures. Might nearly impossible for me, but I like the idea! :O)
I know – I couldn’t resist adding a few words!
:o)
I love the pictures, though I cannot imagine you having a lazy day. :)))
It looks like you are enjoying some lovely weather as well.
You live in a beautiful part of the world, Jan. Even had it been raining when those photos were taken it would have still been beautiful. Enjoy the paddle boat ride this weekend.
Thanks Hugh – unfortunately we’re having a drought which means this summer we will be living in a tinder box!
I’ll have to send you some British rain over to sort out that problem, Its on its way!
Oh please do! As much as you can spare. I’m sure California would knight you: Sir Hugh, Bringer of the Blessed Rain!
Oh, I like that new title for me. I’ll see what I can do, Jan.
