SPRING ON DORCAS BAY

EVENING SUNSET 

I think even the shore rocks have grown this year!

Local Coyote on the move.

Close up shows it really knows how to pick its water crossing route.

Early morning Critter Cam shot shows this coyote may have the signs of mange.

The frog population looks healthy this year.

Rabbits are roaming again after many years of very low numbers.

Forest wild flowers are plentiful.

Our orchard looks promising.

The Lady Slipper numbers are the highest we've had in years.

MORNING GREETINGS FROM DORCAS BAY

Great Blue Heron

This heron had close to a seven foot wing span.

Our dock by the bay.

Many wild flowers are a result our large snow fall this year.

The combination of large snowfall and thin top soil resulted in the lost of this large

 pine tree located between our home and orchard.

Some of the wild plants go through an amazing transformation to become

 the ground cover we view almost everyday.

The view from our dining room.

"Bruce" can't take his eyes off the lake.

With the lake water much higher this spring, trout have entered the

wet land pond.
