That's My World Tuesday: Lake Lynn

Lake Lynn is a few miles from my house and Bill and I went for a walk there on Saturday. All the photos in this post are from that walk.

Since Shelley Lake is in my neighborhood and some of the trails are within walking distance of my house, that's where I usually walk.

I like to go to Lake Lynn too since there are some differences between the two lakes and Lake Lynn is only a few miles away.

In the spring I usually spot a lot more turtles at Lake Lynn and on Saturday that was definitely the case.

The turtles were out in full force and I wondered if they have already begun to have babies.

I'm not sure what kind of turtles they are as that's not something I'm good at identifying.

Immediately after reading a sign that said horses aren't allowed on the walkways around the lake, I spotted two horse riders.

When I realized they were police officers I wondered how they would react if I said, I'm making a citizens arrest, you aren't supposed to be riding horses on this trail.

There are some early signs of spring at the lake but not as many as there are in the neighborhoods.

I like this time of year when part of my world looks like winter and part looks like spring.

When we were almost around the lake, I glanced over at a condominium complex which was bursting into spring mode.

There are some of the same geese and ducks at Lake Lynn as there are at Shelley, but not anything like as many at Lake Lynn. Lake Lynn has muscovy ducks (second shot) which I never see at Shelley but in terms of numbers of water birds there aren't as many.

There weren't any sea gulls at Lake Lynn although there are a lot of them at Shelley Lake at the moment. Most of the sea gulls leave before summer at Shelley.

I haven't seen any of the great blue herons at either lake recently although I see quite a few from around April through January at both lakes. For participants from around the world, please visit the home of That's My World Tuesday.
