I had some extra time before needing to go into the office this morning, so I took my camera and went out by the lake. My morning consisted mostly of taking photos of ducks, though I did get a photo of a muskrat hauling a stick - which let me put my zoom lens to the test because he kept quite a bit of distance from me. That one isn't my best, but you can at least make out its furry body. Here are some of my photos: _________________________________________________________________________ Here are some other nature photos: Lunchtime Walk Photos (5/15/2026) Lunchtime Walk Photos (5/8/2026) Lunchtime Walk Photos (10/9/2024) Lunchtime Walk Photos (9/10/2024)

 A little cool out yet but sunny so I got a walk in at lunch today. Here are some of the photos I took.

The temps are getting colder, and we even had some snow this week. However, it was fairly decent today, so I took advantage and got out with my camera. Here are some of my photos:

I managed to get outside before the afternoon rain today. Missed out on a few photos because the birds didn't cooperate but did get the below:

Synopsis: I probably won't get an opportunity to get out for another walk this week because of other commitments and rain. I managed to get out today though and got some photos. Here are some of the ones I took:

It was somewhat nice out today. It was much warmer than it's been, and the rain hasn't gotten here just yet, so I got out for a short walk. Here are some of my photos:

Note to Self: Camera batteries charge better if you don't put them in the charger backwards. Fortunately, even though the battery in my camera was almost dead, I was able to get a few photos before the rain clouds started rolling in. Here are some of them:

I was finally able to get out to the park with my camera for the first time this spring and the trails, while a bit muddy in some spots, were OK enough for me to get through without having to bypass anything. Here are some of my photos.
