Wood Lake

[guppiecat]

I've started stopping at Wood Lake on my trips to Minneapolis. It gives me a chance to rest for a few minutes and helps separate the long interstate driving from the shorter intra-city driving (which are two different skill sets). It also gives me a chance to photograph birds and squirrels.

This set is of photos I took right before heading out to Costa Rica. When I returned a week and a half later, all the snow was gone (as were the squirrels (do they melt too?)).

Lovely shots of the sqrls... I particularly like the last one with the silhouetted tail-floofage and wonderful plant shapes almost emerging from the soft-focus background. Nice set :)

Oh, very nice junco shot.

Squirrels don't melt, but they disperse from bird feeders and sheltered areas like Wood Lake once winter is past.

I really love Wood Lake. We've seen juvenile swallows figuring out how to fly, and muskrats, and Canada geese herding their young along, and a lot of migratory warblers, and of course dragonflies.
