I took a long walk at Audubon yesterday toting the camera… Couldn’t resist taking a few shots of our latest adoptee – we’re calling her “Angel Wing” because of the condition of her wing.
She cannot fly and will most likely spend the winter in Audubon’s backyard where we keep a portion of the pond free of ice through the use of a bubbler, and where she will munch on birdseed kicked out of the feeders by other birds.
I also happened on this fellow, soaking up some late afternoon sun:
He’ll be fine under the ice of the pond through the winter…
In the meantime, let’s all enjoy autumn together…

I love that photo of the turtle! He’s enjoying his last few days of Autumn as am I!
Oh my! It’s so cold here. The turtles are far below the surface. The leaves are falling like mad. I swept the deck twice this afternoon, and it is covered again. Here comes winter!!!
Spectacular photo of the turtle! I hope the goose gets through the winter OK.
