odds and ends from many walks

I have stayed to it ... still, with my daily walks. I generally walk around 3-4 miles in a shot, going out 1-3 times, trying to vary my trip each time.

Is it any wonder, I've got too much time on my hands
found in the leaves in Franke Park -- Wonder bread bag
Yohne Rd. creek (ditch)

Do you need a set of white wall tires, are you going to drive the miracle mile?
Buried from high river runoff, St. Mary's River
Interestingly, there is a high level of sand here

I didn't bother photographing the large amount of straw found here and at Foster Park, high wind and river run off, but from what location originally?
This may be river runoff, but oddly the wheel and barrow part are close ... too far from residential are for "daily" use
Nice tree at Swinney Park West

critters

They were chasing each other -- mating season maybe, and hopped onto the local trees to get away from me. This retaining wall is near the river. I hope that the river never got this tall ... I was tens (~ 20) of feet above the already high river. For Fort Wayner's this is West Swinney Park.

This little muskrat was nicely swimming in the creek off Yohne Road.
heron flying over Airport Expressway
It isn't a different or odd color, but rather it is flying toward a sunset casting a strange orange on its feathers.
fur in a tree
either a predator put it there or a very healthy jumpy rabbit met with the branches
poor shot: light and movement ruined it.
falcon in a tree
blurry shot, but shows the miserable weather Allen County has had for walking and photography
old roadkill down to just bones
some miserable day with stored nuts in tree -- birds look at a lone, cold, miserable walker with a camera
same day with heron, being dead on the road stinks
Foster Park West, dead raccoon ... no apparent trauma
maybe it drown
same raccoon from above
opossum, roadkill
they smell so bad "playing dead", I think they stay untouched for a few days after dying

something on the trail

Her pretty head?
