Farm Pictures

I've spent now a couple of weeks here and had ample time and opportunity to snap some photos of the farm as it awakes from spring into summer. Here they are, without much commentary.

Zeek, with his summer shave.


We've had a small bird hanging around near the gardens. Here it is with Zeek.


Willow...


Here's a few shots of the Great Blue Heron that's been fishing the upper pond.






An Egret, shoreline (look closely).


Taking flight.


The Geese and our lone Duck.


The Geese have been planted on this nest for at least two weeks. I think someone needs to break the news to them that these eggs aren't going to hatch.


The Hawks have two babies this year, again. Here's one of the parents staring me down as I wander around below their nest.


Bee on a chive flower.


I'll post more as the summer progresses. Miss you all.

[update]
I notice the photo's didn't size very well with the formatting of the blog. To see the full sized ones just click on them, or go to my flicker page for some of the others I didn't post.
