A walk in the storm

It is terribly nasty looking outside today.  We took advantage of a break in the rain to take a walk to the pond.

They poked around in the grass looking for critters while I ran back to the house to get my camera.  I can't not take pictures on a walk to the pond (you never know what you might see).

Everyone was extremely cautious with every step in the tall grass.  We now know there are lots of snakes out here.

The sky over the pasture was eerily beautiful.

We were delighted to see this in the next pasture, running as fast as they could to get away from us.

Look closely and you'll see 5 little goslings running after their momma.  (and one big, bad daddy looking after them)

We saw lots of tadpoles.  We are planning on going back later to catch some and raise them.  I think that will be so cool to watch them turn into frogs.

On walks, we always have a cat or two following us.  I'm not sure why.  They just tag along.  I took a picture of Fluffy and was surprised when I came home and looked at the pictures.

Look closer...

Is that not the biggest frog ever. What is the best way to catch a frog?  I bet he has seriously meaty legs.  Just kidding. 

We saw a beautiful red-winged blackbird.  

And my little Daisy scout found a daisy.

Then it started pouring, and we ran home.

The End.
