"Pelican Pond" (no pelicans)
Oct. 25th, 2021 08:30 pm(Island Territory will get posted tomorrow - I made a cover for it that I'm pretty happy with, but it got a bit late.)
Today we both slept in way later than we usually would. (I did wake up at 4, and went back to sleep around 6, but still.) We had some errands to run, but today was almost 80°, so we definitely wanted to do something outside. We settled on "Pelican Pond", though there weren't any pelicans today.
It was a very nice walk! The weather was beautiful, and the air started off better than it's been for a while. Some new scunge moved in later, but at least during our walk it was nice!

Cy, going for a wade.

We also saw a small group of wood ducks. They're some of my favorites, especially the males with how flashy they are. I'm guessing this was a family group - there was the one male, and one pretty heavily marked female, and the others looked like maybe juvenile females?
( Seven more pictures below the cut - leaves, a turtle, more water birds: )
