Shopping craziness

The shopping craziness has begun. Does it get you stressed and uneasy?
This photo is of Macy's in Manhattan.

Duck Box

Built by a neighbor, a few years ago, the box sits in the phragmites.

I've never actually seen a duck in the nesting box but we do have plenty of ducks on the river.

It is my understanding that this is built specifically for Wood Ducks, and we mainly see Mallards here.

At this time of year, the Buffleheads come to visit, migrating through Long Island, and away from the windy Great South Bay.

Thank you!

Arboretum bench

Arboretum bench, a photo by Alida's Photos on Flickr.

Just a walk through the arboretum, on a beautiful autumn day.

The leaves are not as vibrant this year due to hurricane Irene and the heavy ice storm last week.

Many trees are bare and any leaves on the trees are just a drab brown color.

In spite of the lack of color, it does have its beauty!
