"By the Wooded Pond"

[jonny_redhorse]

This evening I took a weekend walk into a mature wooded area and came across a small secluded pond with some wildlife....almost has it's own ecosystem! ....I did see a yellow headed blackbird near this pond but he spotted me first...haven't seen one up in this area for quite some time.... few photos from a few hours ago...

Red Baneberry: area was loaded with these,nice to look at but certainly are poisonous(digiscoped)

white baneberry:(also poisonous):

painted turtles enjoying the quite pond this evening:(6 totaled on various logs)

shorebird of some sort,(Sandpiper I think)

the raspberries are ripening:

Nice captures Johnny! My favorite is the white Baneberry. We're usually over run with yellow headed black birds, but not this year? I can't say whether it's simply circumstances or there' other reason's unknown to me.

Very nice! I'm kinda partial to the raspberry myself!

Nice shots!! Have you ever walked out to the bog lake east of 6 mile lake and just north of hayes rd. ? There are alot of cool plants out there ( picture plants ect... )
