A Walk Around Angler's Lake
If you sit on our patio at the apartment, you will find the air is filled with the sounds of happy birds. You will look at the chain link fence about 15 feet away that is periodically dotted with bird feeders that the apartment dwellers have put out. Then you can look through the fence to a lush undergrowth that surrounds Angler's Lake.
This is a protected wildlife area. There are signs around it stating you are not to bother the vegetation. And the birds are very happy here. Water. Plenty of cover for their nests and humans willing to throw some extra food their way.
Yesterday, Katrina and I decided to take a walk around the lake and see what we could see. Why don't you come along with us...
Mr. and Mrs. Mallard enjoying a quiet day by the lake.
Sun perch wondering if we have some goodies to share with them.
Katrina wondering if she can catch one of the little fish and take him home with her.
And then there were the flowers and trees we saw along the way. I am not good at identifying flowers, but we saw some interesting ones. I did recognize the clover.
While walking we did find the perfect Christmas tree:
As we walked, white puffy seeds kept floating past...almost like snow. We discovered where they were coming from:
And they were so thick in places on the ground, Katrina thought it looked like snow.
You may be wondering what Jack was doing while we were gone. He was practicing his monkey foot skills. And he did actually manage to drink out of this sports bottle, but I didn't get it on film.
While on our walk, we found a path leading to another lake, but we were running out of time, so we will be checking it out soon.

i enjoyed this walk
we like exploring places like this

Wow, Bloomington sounds like a great town. Do they have a Chick fila restauant in town or is it only at a college. My younger d and I miss it from our Georgia past. We had the weed floatee thingees sailing around here today. I wish I could have gotten a pic of them as there were so many in the air almost like a winter's snow. Ugh, don't want to think about that since it is finally summer here.
Blessings............
Glad to see you are settling in. I especially enjoyed the picture of the fish. Your son is a riot....both my son (now 23) and his younger sister used to practice writing and drawing with their feet. Boy, these homeschooled kids are so talented!
The snow is from cotton woods, I believe. It makes me sneeze. :-) It seems as though you have a really nice view from your balcony.
