Abstract Turtle

abstract_turtle

While sitting at the picnic table at the pond, I spotted something on these branches. It looks like a little turtle. At first, I thought it was maybe an egg but later on, I looked and it was not there. It was not until I got home and started post-processing pictures that I decided it looks like a turtle among all the twisted and arching branches.

I hope you enjoyed this look at Alderfer-Oenslager Wildlife Sanctuary in early spring.

Blue Among the Beige

Wetlands

While there was a lot of beige at the sanctuary, there was also a lovely blue sky beautifully reflected in the water.

Before we know it, the water will be surrounded by greenery instead of all the beige. Check out The Plane Arrives post from last summer to see what it will look like in a month or so.

Anybody Home?

Found this empty nest for sale or rent among the green buds on the tree. It is on the edge of the wetlands, so you have a great view of the water. Anyone interested?
