A relatively quite morning.
Lovely Fall Morning at Ward Bayou
Friday morning at Ward Bayou, and it started out great. At the entrance, Patty was seeing and hearing quite a few forest birds, mostly deep into the trees where it is difficult to photograph. Normally we have Ward Bayou to ourselves but it is hunting season and the birds are a bit more elusive.

Thank you!
I love the photos, Rich and Patty, and I really like this new platform. It did take a little longer to upload, but overall easier to see and read the comments.
All is well in the piedmont….stil working on home renovations while working full-time. Hoping to slow down a little by spring. We’ll see how that goes. Haha
Love and hugs,
Renee
