Yesterday, on Saturday, we got up early and took some winter pictures. We started at 50th Avenue, where there is this very cool red barn surrounded by corn fields.

We made our way to Essex Park and got some pictures of the creek.

Then we went to Silver Lake Park, and it is not pretty there. The massive anti-geese project must be going on right now. I know they are trying to grow long grass around the lake so that the geese won’t want to spend any time there. And there are lines of twine with shiny reflecting strips strung up about 3 feet above the ground around the lake shore to scare the geese away. Guess what? The lake is still warm from the warm waste water from RPU, and there are still lots of geese on the lake. And it is really ugly now so we didn’t take any pictures.
And then we made our way to the Mayowood trail and bridge. Some of the lake is frozen, but I don’t think you want to ice fish there.
