Mystery on a Spring Day

This past Saturday we had a little lull in the rainy weather, the sun actually came out from behind the clouds for an hour or two. I took the opportunity to stop by the park and visit some friends. The Common Goldeneye was swimming around the pond.

Mr. Turtle was basking in the warm sun while it was still warm.


And ......... what's that? Do you know? Guess you will have to wait for a future post to find out.


For more photos visit Tuesday Takes (okay, I'm late but it's just barely not Tuesday :) , Watery Wednesday and Outdoor Wednesday.

We still are waiting for a few rays of sunshine, due to show up today or tomorrow, Judy. Seems like a long wet spell to me!

my guess is a female turkey. and the golden eye duck is definitely not common here. beautiful.

Hmmm. My first thought was a pheasant sort, but not sure. Gorgeous tho!

Jeepers in that first photograph it looks like footprints on water. How interesting? Happy St. Patrick's Day.

awww...I love the turtles. I remember when you use to be able to buy them at the 5 and 10 store; Kresge's in our town and we use to go watch them play in the aquarium while my mom got groceries.
they are fun to watch crawl all over each other :)
