Signs along the way

This is a community near where we live.  It is a gated golf community that covers acres and acres of land.
I am not a golfer, but there are some in my family who would consider this paradise--to walk out he back door and be on the links.

I noticed some signs as I took my walk today part way around the perimeter of that place.
Yep, plenty of those around.


And, yes, some sand hill cranes nearby.

The wild life was not interested in crossing the road today.
 An egret and a heron were having a fine feast in the creeks that had filled up in yesterday's rain.  They were not planning to move away any time soon.
 
 
And of course, these guys were just feeling too lazy, hanging out in the sun, to bother with crossing the road.
 


 
While I was walking, I did see one man playing a golf ball off the sidewalk.  Better that then hitting into one of the water traps.

  1. Wow - I think I'd be afraid to take a picture of the ...hmmm are they alligators or crocodiles? How does one tell.

    Living on a golf course might have its benefits with the scenery, but putting up with golfers and their errant golf balls would be too much.

  2. Those water traps look quite hazardous!

  3. Those are pretty serious water traps. You certainly had a great wildlife tour. My favorite big bird is the Sandhill.
    I once played golf with some wild hogs at the University of South Florida. One of the fun things about Florida.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
