It was a sunny and brisk walk on this Groundhog Day; I guess that means more posts about cold and windy rambles! It was a few degrees below freezing (in the sun!), and I had to pull my hood tight and tuck my chin each time a gust of wind hit me. I didn’t dawdle when taking photos, either!
Wednesday was a day off from walking—it was 20 degrees in the morning, and I didn’t get home from “school” until late afternoon. The deer were waiting for me as I drove up the road.
They often wait for me in the meadow, and sometimes four tom turkeys (or jakes?) are waiting, too. These four come pretty regularly and eat birdseed that falls from the feeders, as well as the corn in the meadow. They are noisy animals!
Yesterday one of the deer waited patiently for me to finish my walk.
Once in a while I’m surprised by what I find in the Hollow, like this old thermos top. I’m often amazed, but not surprised, by the beauty I encounter, like the ice crystals in these puddles.
This little hollow is full of amazing sights, and I’ll be sharing more soon.
