When I left the house before sunrise yesterday morning there were beautifully clear skies, but as the temperature dipped to 26F with calm winds ground fog appeared at my targeted wetlands. Although I could not see much, I felt able to hike without much pain for the first time since my bicycle crash. Thus, I headed off into the mist. Birds were few and far between at first (or at least I could not see them!). I could hear Sandhill Cranes and Trumpeter Swans calling through the mist.
It was a beautiful, eerie morning. I did not see another human, animal or bird during my foggy hike … at least till the fog lifted and I found these Canada Geese at a small pond.
Hi, Canada Geese People from Canada are Canadian. Small correction on type of geese–Love your work. Don
How true! Oops. My typing fingers get carried away. Will correct.
So glad you are now able to feel well enough to share your wonderful pics.
Hi was this the Sherburne refuge near Big Lake MN?
Yes! I was down in the Cities over the weekend. Sherburne is a great place to hike right now. As of August 31st, there are no restrictions on areas where you may walk. I followed dirg roads that are normally prohibited from near the new learning center.
