Where Are You, White-Headed Goose?

 

Travalon had the day off of work today, so I took it off too, and we went to Horicon Marsh. People had recently been posting photos of the white-headed goose, so we hoped that we would see it, but we didn't see much. We did see this tree with interesting holes in it.

We saw sandhill cranes flying.

We saw muskrat lodges (and convention centers).

And we saw what I think are gadwalls.

We had lunch at the Mexican restaurant in Mayville, and we went to the antiques shop there too. The flowers that danced to "In the Mood" have been sold, but I did find a rosary, an Infant of Prague chaplet, and a Christmas bracelet. Here is a photo.

Sorry, I didn't take a picture of the bracelet. The rosary in the middle is the one I got at Garver Mill on Sunday. It was a rainy day, so we had to take walks between showers. The sun finally came out just as it was setting, and we saw a rainbow.

And here is the beautiful sunset.

Good old "Mount Wank," which is actually called Big Hill. What a boring name!

Looking over the Christmas tree farm is like looking over the taiga in Alaska.

I don't think I'm going to stay up to watch the election results. They seem pretty disappointing anyway.
