Well, it seems the shrunken Nashawannuck Pond has given way to lush marshes and steep sandy banks. Work continues over at Rubber Thread Pond behind the town hall. I believe they are replacing some piping between the two ponds, so the bigger fish can go through. It's my understanding that once that work is complete, the pond will then complete its retreat.
Meanwhile, it's been cool to see the new wildlife that's been enjoying the new all-you-can eat buffet that's arising in the muck.
Speaking of muck, as you can see, I had fun this morning wandering around with my trusty Canon. Lighting wasn't great and the visiting Snowy Egrets don't let you get too close, but was still good fun exploring.
Didn't really see anything interesting or valuable, historically or otherwise, but I'm sure they'll dig up something interesting when they bring in the big guns.
A few shots to add to the collection (click on an image to enlarge, seems to work for most)...
Here's a before and after shot, from one of my favorite composition shots of Mt. Tom. Usually have to be in a kayak to get this shot, but not now...
now...
There's our snowy egret friend again. Might have to invest in a longer lens if this bird show continues... Maybe Patrick Brough will lend me one...
There's a little bit of an update for you, stay tuned, the fun appears to be just beginning.

Would be more than happy to if you have a trusty Pentax lens mountable camera. I am going to get this weekend one way or another.
