Nature and other happenings

Today we went to Lake Jacomo just down the road. The other day Pam took me there for the first time and we saw four groundhogs, so I wanted to go back with my camera to see if I could get a few good pictures. Here's a picture of the fall leaves and the boats out today.










Did we ever get some great photos!! Ben was very brave and waited beside a hole until a groundhog came out. He got so close! I couldn't believe it. Here is one coming out of a hole.










Close up... isn't he cute?

















Here's a picture I took of another one. This one was HUGE! I was scared to get too close to it and when I got close he scurried in his hole. Apparently they can run up to 30 miles per hour. I didn't want to look down the hole for fear he would pop out and gnaw on my leg or something.










In other news, Pam taught me how to knit last night and I've started my first project. It's a scarf. Aren't you impressed?
