Reflection

I did not go out long this morning as I was trying to finish sanding and staining my Grandmother's pie safe that I had been stripping.  When my Grandmother passed, that was one of the things I wanted and none of the other grandchildren seemed to have an interest in it.  To the best the family can figure it is close to 90 years old.

A quick walk through at the park where I went to check the Bluebird boxes, I saw this Mallard and thought the reflection in the water was quite nice.

Just a few minutes ago I went down to put out some food for the deer and spotted two new creatures in the area.  Of course the scurried in to a hiding hole but I feel sure with the quick look I got that they are Groundhogs.  In all the years I have been living here I have never seen one around.  I came back up to the house to get the trail camera and clippers to try and fix an area to catch them coming out of their hole.  I know any night shots will be a white-out since I have it set very close but I am after day shots anyway.  Hopefully tomorrow something will be on the trail cam.

Great photo. Love the reflection. Hopefully, you will post the pie safe photo when you have it finished. BTW, the bluebirds have finally arrived AND a hummingbird too!!

Thanks Liz. They look so nice when they are in their bold, breeding colors.

Thanks Gladys. Yep, I will post a photo when finished. I guess it is about that time for the hummers. They usually show up around "Tax Day". Guess I need to pull out the feeders and clean. I always love when they arrive.
