Beauty and illusions

I remind myself that we are the visitors here. The turkeys are still doing their thing all around us. At least three toms, strutting their stuff, and numerous hens, chirping. They call from behind the barn and up the hill, around the buildings, and in the front field. Spring is certainly in the air.

Tim pointed out they drag their flight feathers on the ground with their display. With a little bit of snow, it looked like someone had pulled a sled around the cabins.

He also thought there was a lizard in the kitchen.

It was really a lone piece of arugula.

This moth, found on our wall, had good camouflage.

One of these is not like the rest. Can you tell which ones are from a heritage breed?

While the cost of eggs rise and the stock markets tumble, it helps to remain focused on the beauty which surrounds us everyday.

Perspectives

Today Tim ticked Lake Clear off his list and I swam a “Y”. The lake was gorgeous and large, with a nice sandy beach.

Seen another way, my gps track drew a soaring bird.

I find it hard to retrace a leg of the letter. I may have to tuck a compass in my swimsuit. Notice the corkscrew finish!

Is this a twister?!

No, it is Osgood Pond, upside down. The water was still this morning and reflections, very clear. Stand on your head and you may be convinced.

We scouted out Upper St. Regis Lake and came upon this lavish boathouse! An Idem class boat was seen on the water as well.

Next up – “Z”.
