Rainy Day Walk

Today, I took a walk in Betzwood, Valley Forge National Historic Park, Schuylkill River Trail. I left my good camera at home since it was drizzly and very damp. I shouldn't have. Gloomy as it was, the colors shone magnificently.



I saw only one other person walking. And one on a bike.



I saw at least a half dozen very soggy looking deer.



The Red-Breasted Robins are flocking up - I guess they will be heading to Orlando now.

Nice pics. Looks colorful even without the sun.

We had a dreary day up here too. The sun tried to come out a little this morning while I was at work, but it's been a mostly dismal day here. I did see a squirrel sitting in my yard by the water well house this afternoon. I think he came back for the walnut he buried out there the other afternoon when I was doing the windows in the kitchen. (yeah, i took pics of him that day...LOL. i might post them one of these days)

These pictures weren't taken with your "good" camera?!? Dang! That middle picture is going to become a screen saver on my computer, with your permission of course.

Despite the cool temps and dreary weather, the walk looked beautiful. You can't help but appreciate nature seeing all that.

Any pictures of the soggy-looking deer?

A couple weeks ago the robins were flocking here, but then they were gone. I was kind of surprised, as I was expecting them to eat more of the berries on the tree outside my building first.

The geese are enjoying the apples that fall off the tree, though.

I ~LOVE~ that middle picture too. I'd love to see it with the "good camera" (as if that wasnt good as it is now). That's precisely the shot I was looking for for the background on my page (the one in the banner wasnt large enough to be the background).

Alice Kay - happiness is a good squirrel picture.

Punkn - I take these pictures for you all to enjoy - please help yourself. :)

ChicagoLady - No soggy deer pictures I'm afraid. After my narrow brush with the death penalty with the squirrels... well, I hope you understand.

The pictures were taken with a cellphone - I didn't even need to mess with them on the computer. If the weather behaves today - I might get back there with the good camera.
