Strange Happenings At The Vermilon River. A Post to WBW.

Huegy Standing In For The Ravens.
We've had intermittent rain and damp weather for more than five days, with more to come. So I said to Boomer we should change the weather. Remember that old guy Merlin something or other, we met on our hike to Mystic Lake. He made us keepers of the Vermilon River Forest, and gave us those funny old books all filled with those strange incantations. Let's try some out. Huegy will stand in for the Ravens for a peanut, and you can stand in for the Wolf Clan. So here goes, and it probably won't work anyway. Gee, that's a weird yellow light....
Weird Yellow Light.

Then The Frost Appeared.

Wow What a change!!
I wonder how you reverse this. It doesn't seem to say.

 Read first, and then click on a photo for the slide show. A Tongue In Cheek post to WBW @ http://thepineriverreview.blogspot.com/

Right On!!

    Great shots Gary, against the snow those bird images look like studio portraits. Love the detail in the feathers when enlarged. Of course, I always enjoy looking at Boomer, he is a handsome guy.

    Oh my gosh this is wonderful. The slideshow really brings out the beauty of the birds -- and your amazing talent in photographing them. (Is that something you've just added? What a great feature. )

    Every picture is perfect. Boomer too!

    Hi Gary

    What a lovely series, Boomer and Huegy look great and the landscapes are lovely. I am impressed with your promotion, Keepers of the Vermilon River Forest has a nice ring to it and I am sure Boomer and Huegy can be trusted to keep you from getting too carried away.

    Congrads and all the best.

    Beautiful pics of 'what is to come' although the snow is better than this daily rain, I am not in a hurry for the snow to come, Boomer is the only one ready for it, with his fur coat!! :)
