This white blossom shows it beauty in the sky. You can see some of the other trees are yet to bud.
There are some great skies if you go and visit. 
I was so surprised when I returned to see a deer in the back yard behind my garden at 10 in the morning. I take my camera with me for these opportunities. I snapped quite a few shots but this was the first. Did you spot him right away? Our weather has made a strong change and you can see blossoms on the tree in the woods and my Hostas next to the house sending out spikes.
The weather had started to cloud up but I wad wanted to go back to see the progress at the heron rookery. There was still a lot of building activity going on. This is one of three full trees.
I started home when it began to rain and as I came around a bend found a dead opossum with two Turkey Vultures. The birds were on the road doing their job. They are a big brave birds and one didn't leave until a car came from the other direction. Luckily the road was lightly traveled in the park. I approached slowly and then turned and came back to get some more photos.
This is only a splash into coming post but it was a fun photo opt day.
The second was a deer's footprint in the mud near home, this is a place the deer have crossing a lot and you can see the trail. Becky got this one, she must have a deer crossing her NC farm. She always has neat stories.
I found this shortly after I had seen seven deer crossing a railroad track bed.
The last is my gardens mortal enemy the groundhog. They love to dig under my fence and eat my vegetables. Willard was the first to get this one. He is a super wildlife photographer from the mountains of Pennsylvania. Check out his site for great photos.
There were some great early guesses a lot of other people did well on the answers.
This one may surprise you.
This is my late addition, you have to be pretty smart to grab this one.
Okay, there they are, did you get any right? 
I do not fish this lake and all my photos from the lake are drive-by. They do not give you a good place to pull off or park to take photos. This is a look from the North End of the lake through a privacy fence.
This is a little ways around the corner of the lake looking to the mud dam. If you click on this one you will see the Canada Goose that snuck into the shot on the right shoreline.
It is a fun place to capture ducks, geese and heron.
The white ones.
The blue ones, the colors of our flag. Another photo rotation, I don't know why. 
My youngest daughter had another orchid bloom this week, it is a white and rose beauty.
Don't you think she does a good job in neglecting these orchids.
There are a lot of neat flowers blooming in the world.
Well mister heron what is the idea of sticking out your tongue at me?
Okay okay, I get it, I'm disturbing you and you are moving. Could you give me more warning. I'm zoomed in you see.
So across the lake he goes.
You can see a lot of other neat critters by visiting the site and linking in.
I found this family of bad hair ducks. Tried my best to identify and finally gave up. What are they, they have funny head dresses and long bills? 
They are a diving duck and are often underwater. The photo doesn't help much but I took several of them. It is Friday fun.
How about a duck we all know. This is a Ruddy Duck, how do you like that blue bill. First one I ever saw. There are no Photo Shop tricks here.
So just for fun, this is an albino Mallard Duck. Well, it was swimming with the mallards. Too bad the eye isn't red.
The high winds didn't stop but the sky definitely changed. Check out Old Glory flapping in the wind. This was a drive-by bridge shot.
The next bridge down was also being buffeted by the wind.
I was going to the doctors for a check up with some great results. My weight was down 12# and my bad cholesterol dropped from 99 to 59. The medicine is working and everything is going well.
There are some great skies if you go and visit. 
They have some great colors and I have kept them as a kid.
The other turtle I saw was a Red Eared Slider that I used in my What Is It. This was my first shots as I saw him. He was posed so neatly on a cool log. Did you notice his foot and tail reflection?
I zoomed in to get a better look.
My daughter spotted them both, she has a good I for finding nature, Thanks T.
The fossilized stone found at the Cuyahoga River. There are several heart shapes on the sandstone. Becky definitely got this one first guess. She does some neat stories on her site. Lisa got the fossil idea which was neat. She has a neat post on photos from Indiana.
I went there with with my youngest grandson and he took the photo with the rock below my right hand. This area was underwater until they eliminated the Kent Dam. It is now a rapids area.
I think this is a Red Eared Slider Turtle I saw on a log. I shot him from behind just for What Is It.
The final is the Canada Goose captured on a lawn in Stow. My daughter called and said there was a turkey in the area but it was gone by the time I got there. Darla got it on her second guess.
They are easy when you see the complete photo.
#2 This was a special find, what is it.
#3 Now don't let this one fool you, or will it.
#4 Here is the last one, is it tricky?
Okay, there they are, how many are you sure you got?
This is one of the more unusual tree trunks I saw. I do think it looks like a cross between a frog and an anteater. Can you see the eye, mouth, legs and snout?
There are definitely some areas that say no trespass.
You also get into some misty areas and wonder which way to go.
It can get darker in the woods so you must take care.
I took my youngest grandson back into the woods. We found a groundhog mound. He found two tails from baby squirrels. The fox must have eaten the rest. I still don't know where the fox lives and haven't seen him for a while.
