The morning outdoor temperature was -16 degrees Farhenheit. When I left home for the park, watching the ice on my car window glass, with the rising sun in the background, the music of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" came across and together lightened my day. The large pond was almost completely frozen. Small animals took this opportunity to walk on the ice and march toward the central island for a special exploration. It was tempting for me but I was immediately reminded of the scene of being spanked some 60 years ago by my dad.😭 The 10th photo was taken on the bridge of the dam. The tree in the front looked like a person stretching in the bed upon waking up by the sun. In the last photo I wonder if you see a cute face on the right side in the ice. This morning in Brightwood Park I found a squirrel making a new home inside a broken tree with front and back entrances. The fellow probably just finished shopping to get prepared for the stormy weather this afternoon and tomorrow. The owner greeted me and appeared to be quite proud of the home. I did not ask for a house tour considering the size of the place. Included is a photo of a tree on the shore of the small pond, with mushrooms forming a ladder-like pattern on it. I guess mushrooms have the professional sense to build a community with houses evenly spaced out. |
