I don't have any wildlife to share, so this is "Rudy". Hubby wanted a little pine tree as our Christmas tree this year. I'm not sure how finicky Norfolk Island Pines are, but I guess I'll soon find out :) He came with these little baubles, and I'll add more and maybe some lights, if he doesn't get overwhelmed.

Hi Casey, I was about to comment that I was afraid that your puzzle would snow me under ... but some of the others would be really difficult, as well. Sue and I parted well over 40 years ago (she died just over ten years ago) ... but I remember that when we'd do a jigsaw puzzle together ... she'd find the right place for about nine pieces ... while I was finding it for about one. ole joyfuelled ... who can be anything else, at this time of year? Except folks who've suffered recent pain or loss.

Beautiful winter scene and an equally beautiful warm weather getaway!! I am just happy that we have had such mild temps so late into the year. These pictures are from a few years ago when we had a lot of snow and Fred was having a ball. I won't be sad if we get very little snow this winter. :)

Shortly before you pass through a wildlife control gate there is this sign The hike continues after that point on a really nice boardwalk along a swampy area: But before long the boardwalk ends and you are walking along paths with these guys right along the edge: Shortly after that the trail seemed to split, one way had a sign saying closed due to flooding, the other looked like this:
