Image #72 – Summer’s Bounty

Image #72

We are moving into late summer and nature’s bounty is feeding its children. This squirrel has followed the lead of several birds and is feasting on the berries of an as-yet-unidentified tree in my backyard. The cardinals have made several pilgrimages to these berries and they must be quite delicious.  Look at the stuffed cheeks on this fellow! In coming months, years I hope to add to this bounty and give the critters what they need.  Winter is coming. Those who cannot fly away must pack on the calories and the fat. Everyone has said the last few winters haven’t been too bad.  But one never knows, do one? ☙

Up the road from Franklin, on the way to Highlands, you pass the Dry Falls, a magnificent venue.  It has been a wet summer so the falls are anything but dry. You can walk behind the falls and enjoy the cool spray of water. It is a refreshing stop on a summer’s day.☙
