Around the bend, you step out of the narrow path and emerge into this pasture with only one tree.

same area.

A sea of flowers.

With one lone mother flower standing tall above the rest

The path once again opened up into this swampy open area.

Just lounging in the sun on a cold day, I tried to stay back far enough not to scare him. After capturing one a few pictures I moved away quietly to let him get on with his rest.

Just trying to keep one leg warm, sitting on his perch watching for dinner.

Another hungry bird looking for it's next meal.

Some things will grow anywhere, as proved by this plant growing from a hole in a dead tree in the middle of the water.

I wonder if the FAA did a full investigation, or did a christmas present not make it to new years, you make the call.

Coming in for a landing.

The beauty.

Just floating in the sun.

Look at all the feathers.

It was very cold this day.
