Foggy walk

It was time for a dog walk this morning. It was foggy near the river.

Geese and duck near the log. This log had spent most of the summer near the shore. A few days ago, they let the river get a little higher and it floated off.

George Pond

Today we went to George Pond in Enfield Center.
The boat landing was very muddy and shallow. I temporarily lost my shoe in the mud and we had difficulty in paddling out.

We didn’t see much wildlife: just a pair of mallards, a few little brown birds, dragonflies and heard splashes that may have been frogs and/or turtles.
