Winterberry holly
Lykers in the fall
Busy little beaversDo click these collages for detail
Liz and I did our shopping for Thanksgiving yesterday, always an ordeal, but we had a great time just talking together on the trip over and back. We also stopped by the swamp we call Lyker's Pond for a late autumn shot or two. It is semi frozen, but the beavers have been busy closing up the culvert between the two sections of pond. This is where we saw all the fish this spring. There were crews out cleaning up other beaver work on the under road culverts in the area, but this is pretty isolated so I suspect it will be a while before they get to it. The winterberry holly is gorgeous still.
The old horse that is now the header was grazing where he always is in an overgrown pasture at the end of the road. He looked so perfect there that I got Liz to stop so I could snap a shot of him....
We have taken pictures of the pond in almost every season now and when the corn is done and things slow down I will get together a post with some of them. It is such a wonderful place, just a few hundred feet from houses and busy roads but so full of wildlife and water life that we never fail to see something interesting when we stop.
