Just a couple of minutes down the road from my favorite Magee Marsh is Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, my second favorite place to be. It was a great autumn day for a walk through the woodland area of the refuge. It was a sunny and warm day with just enough insects buzzing about to keep our feathered friends full...and the Doodles swatting at thin air. It's fun to watch!
Oh, almost!

Lovely pictures, especially the Brown Creeper. But, they all deserve a mention.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post! When I need a smile in the middle of a crazed workday, it's a treat to find a new entry here. You've got to be the most modest photographer out there, and certainly one of the funniest bloggers. Funny AND still thoughtful & meaningful, what a great combination. Thanks for brightening up a busy Friday!
