At Gwynedd Preserve, a Natural Lands Trust Preserve, there is now a new bird blind.
This is a very basic bird blind.
Inside there is a sturdy bench, a shelf, and openings to watch the birds.
There are some basic bird feeders, but I did not see any birds.
The day was overcast and hinted of the storm to come, but the birds were not feeding.
Last night we had snow. And it was still there this morning. Is this Fall or Winter?
Many found their cars covered in snow.
Even the Penn-Gwyn bridge had snow.
It was pretty to look at with the Fall color and Winter snow.
Beautiful, but too early.
Just a touch of red at "B".
Perimeter Road looks chilly, and it was.
All the roofs had snow this morning.
Here it is! - The Foulkeways honey being poured into jars, and then labels put on the jars. It will be ready for sale in the Gift Box on Friday. No limit to the amount you can buy.
We returned to Robbins Park after lunch on this beautiful day, to check out Creepy Pond and other areas. It is amazing how close you are to the houses.
The beech leaves were beautiful.
The beech woods are so attractive.
This is a view of the Wissahickon Creek and Route 309 in the background. Should read North Rose Valley Creek, see comment below, a tributary of the Wissahickon Creek.
Even the canopy was photogenic.
The colors of November may be muted, but they are still very attractive.
The color stands out amid the bare trees.
In the afternoon the color may be glowing.
The white fence shows off the orange tree.
Some leaves are still red.
This must be a magnificent view from inside these apartments.
There are still many red berries.
The colors of the goldfinch are muted at this time, but he is still beautiful, and you can see why I leave dead flowers in my garden for him to forage on.
The Craft Fair at Foulkeways runs from 9 to 2 Friday and Saturday.
You might find some exquisite jewelry to buy.
Or some earrings made from watch parts!
Beautiful embroidered pillows.
Homemade baked goods.
Of course, sweets of all kinds.
Even apple sauce with no sugar added.
A clock to tell you time and tide.
How about a toothpick holder!
A warm hat for winter. I bought one of those.
Numerous beautiful house plants.
Best yet. A boomerang!
This is just a sample of the many nice things for sale.
What a wonderful day to take a walk at Peace Valley, after voting, that is.
The Canada Geese fill the upper end of the lake, and squabble continuously.
But we found a great blue heron among the hordes.
Also a coot.
A foursome of white-tails bounded across the path.
This robin was enjoying the fall berry feast.
This is the bird blind at Peace Valley.
Inside the bird blind.
From the bird blind we saw this goldfinch in winter plumage.
Here is a male and a female house finch.
And a trio of female purple finches enjoying the sunflower seed.
These are a few of the things we saw. I could not get a photo of the bald eagle that flew over, but almost got the kinglet perched beside us in a tree.
