Wood Lake
Summer is here. The long lazy days under the sun are spread out like a lush wedding banquet. The air hangs heavy, raspberries are erupting with tart flesh and nests are becoming increasingly empty. So, I better publish my spring post stragglers! I love this heron shot with a goose photo bomb.

Lovely and transporting captures. What is that striped beaver like rodent? One of natures gingers. I love that a few families have gotten together for a walk or exodus.
Wow - gorgeous shots.
Just wonderful! Each photo is just perfect! Love them all! What a great place to see birds and wildlife. I haven't been around much, just trying to get a little caught up with you today. Will check out Chorus next. Don't forget to see my Reply on the book club blog.
Lovely and interesting shots!!!
Enjoyed these very much and choose the tree frog as a favorite.
All the images adn your words are marvellous Sharon.
Hello!:) A delightful variety of critters and nature shots. Love all the Wood Lake captures, but also the frog, I had to look really hard to discover him.:)
Now these are a lot of fun pictures. I like the snap! and the cool heron, with plenty of fun in between. :-)
All of these are beautiful, Sharon--you have a gift of capturing nature. But I love, love, love the second photo or the families walking down the road.
Lovely nature shots - thanks for linking up with us!
Lovely variety of critters! I love the wooden walkway and the weird chicken!!
A great series of photos!
It is astonishing how fast those goslings will grow up!
Have a wonderful day!

The old stairway merging with the hillside is just fascinating! The same applies to the goose families walking down the road.

Hello Sharon, wonderful series of critters and lovely images. The frog is one of my favorites. The first shot of the heron is gorgeous. But, they are all awesome! Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your 4th of July weekend!
I like your point of view a lot. Grand photos and lively words.
Beautiful photos, love the photo bomb.
Beautiful nature pictures!
Funny picture duck family for a walk.

I don't think I've ever seen the 'weird chicken' species before today! [lol]
And, honestly, I've never EVER seen a Bufflehead out of water. That's a new one ...if ever I see them, they're always at a far distance, and most times, dipping with tail up in the air, feeding on the river/lake bottoms, catching the 'catch of the day'. Exceptional image.
In fact, all your photos today are fabulous Sharon.
Thank you so much for adding your post link! We birders at I'd Rather B Birdin' always appreciate you participating!!
Lovely pictures!!
Thank you for joining #MondayEscapes :D
Beautiful photos from Wood lake! Your second one is too cute! Love the close-ups from the muskrat, the deer, and the tree frog (almost missed the last one:) ) Many thanks for sharing your adventure with SEASONS, and hope to "see" you back next week with one of your beautiful captures. But first, a Happy Independence Day to you!
You've really outdone yourself, Sharon.
So many different critters, and wonderful shots of each.

Beautiful photos! That heron shot is incredible... but I love the "family photo" of the geese too.
Amazing photos. I have to admire, how many different animals you have captured.
