Wildlife Walk............


No, I didn't leave the state to get this shot.  It is at a pond near a hotel in Des Moines. The Canada geese stay year round in Iowa.  They didn't do that 30 years ago and back then one would be fascinated to watch them as they flew over heading north.


AJ needed to get out of the hotel room and get some exercise, so we walked the trail around the pond. 


For a moment I though I was visiting Minnesota along the North Shore but no, we could hear the noise of Interstate 80 that was right near there. Business buildings were built all around the water feature.
