The Progeny
Life at Praire Bridges
I always say, if you HAVE to run in to town, on a gorgeous day, why not take your camera and stop off at the park before going home?
And so I did.
Here are two turtles sunning themselves. It is possible they were having a stare-down, as well.
Then I scared up a rabbit, who ran a little ways and stopped to show me his big, big eyes.
And the cute bunny led me to the place where I found the woodpecker, of earlier fame...*points toward lower post*
The local geese were horsin' around, flapping and honking at each other. They are very noisy. And someone needs to give serious consideration to their potty-training.
Walking back toward the car, I saw what looked like small logs under the water, except they moved. So I got a little closer, and discovered a whole school of them near a quiet edge of the pond. Let me tell you, "Them's BIG suckers!" Some were close to three feet, I think. (course, I'm just a spatially-impaired female)
I will have to look this striped guy up in a field guide....{I could use some HELP on this one, the mouth is really weird....anyone know what it is?}....Nice that he obligingly grabbed for a bug on the water, just as I clicked the camera :-)
And that wraps up Ma's half hour visit to her little retreat. Too bad I had to leave--I was actually starting to feel alive.
It gave me the strength to go clean at the church for 90 minutes.
Coming (hopefully) in the future.....a picture of the Baltimore Oriole I saw :-D
*looks hopeful* "Hey...who needs Ma to pick up something at the store....?"

In an attempt to play the amateur Icthyologist, I'll guess that that striped fellow is a Tiger-Muskellunge. Possibly, he is a close relative of the Northern Pike, and quite the gamefish (Although they do have quite the set of needle-sharp teeth for a freshwater fish).
You know, I was leaning toward Muskellunge myself,though there were some differences. Maybe Tiger-Muskellunge is just the ticket.
I do appreciate someone giving me an idea as to what it is. Son Jason thought it looked like a croc....
