A Winter Walk March 2nd, 2019

I dusted off a point-and-shoot and took it on a short walk today. Jane took her phone and grabbed some shots too. There's a city park across the road from us, so we sometimes walk there.

The view up the path where we join it. We headed the other way today. 

 

The creek across the street as it begins to wander thru the park.

Cattails sometimes manage to hold their covering thru the winter.


Oaks can hold their leaves all winter.
 

A jet-black stump... I'm guessing a fungus.
 

Another stump with fungus... that's starting to turn this stump black.

Weeds can look delicate in winter. 

There's a small pond in the park. We've often seen this pair of Mallards in it. There's very little open water as of now, but they seem to be managing just fine. They were nibbling at something near the surface of the water.

 Do ducks look forward to spring? Or do they think each year that it's not coming back? Just pondering.
