Took a walk in December...

This is our neighborhood.

The Park District is always fighting with the Beavers!!!

Evidence of a fire, long ago...





What kind of pods are these? I know I should know, but I am a city girl, after all!

I think this is wild rose. There were large stands of these wine and silver brambles. They were beautiful in the low winter sun. I have begun to love living in the country.


Cass took the picture. Kinda lame considering I am about 15 feet off the ground. You can't tell, but she tried!! She wouldn't climb up there!!
