Silk Farm walk about

I took a hike at our local Audubon Center on Saturday.
I just needed to get out and enjoy the sun.

Waiting for it's summer resident blue birds to return.

The sun was warm on my back and the shadows stretched out across the field
as it moved lower in the sky.

At the bottom of this large white pine were the remains of some squirrel's lunch. I wonder just how many pine cones there were when he started?

It may be hard to see unless you click on the picture for a larger view; this maple leaf is frozen in the ice. There was a unique ice dam where the ground water had frozen and thawed and made a wonderful icy cascade as it was trying to reach Turkey pond.
