Some people make New Year's resolutions. Buck and I made a Memorial Day resolution. On the holiday we started back on our walking routine at the Livingston Canal.
The first day I was upset because I forgot my camera. (After all, I had to get up an hour earlier than usual to do this, and I am not a morn person.) But, the second day, I got a picture of one of the resident Mallards swimming the canal.
Later on in the walk we were treated to the bullfrog chorus. There is a line-up of about five that serenade us most mornings. I needed to bring my main camera with the stronger zoom lense to get a close up of this beauty.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to get a shot of the kit foxes that we saw the first day. It appears they are living in the blackberry bushes that fence off the canal bank.
It was so nice to see the duck families. I saw this mama and her babies only the one day. Did she move farther down the canal where there were fewer walkers on the banks?
I think of the ocean when I think of shells, yet the canal bank is peppered with them. The sunflowers are out in glory. And, the fire ants are not unique to the canal bank. Yet, with all the hills and tunnels, I wonder how long it will be before the banks collapse and slide into the water.
