Moose Pond

This is the weir where the out flow from the Moose Pond is measured. I went to look at the weir while I waited for the Great Horned Owl family to return to the pond. The first pictures I took were out of focus. I hadn't realized I had changed one of the settings on my camera making it very difficult to get a photo of the owl family, two adults and three youngsters.

A very small Great Horned Owl atop a very large rock. Orange Hawkweed. One of the youngsters atop a Birch snag.

the very large rock again looking very much like a dragon. Tree roots looking very much like antlers and a wee Painted Turtle basking on a log in the morning sun.


A shy Daisy .............................rock guys built from rocks blown apart to form a ditch along the road and a Daisy with strange petals.

A dead Garter Snake with amazing colour.... a Blue Flag ........ a mourning Cloak Butterfly resting on a squashed Snapping Turtle.

A close up of a very busy anthill. I am fascinated by ants in their communities. The surface area of this anthill is about three feet by four feet.

The one rock guy to survive the joy of a two year old derived by knocking down rock guys. On that stretch of the road I had built about twenty rock guys.
