These pictures that I took a few years ago show just how bleak things look now at the end of November. The days are mostly cloudy and we lost an hour and 17 minutes of daylight this month. Sunrise today was at 7:33 and the sun will set at 4:19.
The paths at Willband were dry enough so we could walk there again yesterday. We only saw one dead goose. We stayed far away from it. Avian flu is once again causing havoc for wild birds as well as domestic. The impact on farmers whose flocks have been culled is enormous. There's even a case in our local hospital of a teenager that has been diagnosed with that strain of the flu although it was believed that it could not be transmitted to humans.
When the trail was partly under water.
I can't end my post on such a depressing note. Here's a picture of my Amaryllis in bloom. I can't take credit for it's amazing flowers because it had all the buds when I bought it at the grocery store!
Thanks for visiting
