Fall Walk on Krisi Nies' Farm

On one of our many beautiful fall days (2014), I finally visited Krisi Nies's new farm pond, a beautiful and private place amidst grazing cows and other fields and woods I look forward to investigating this spring.


The pond got created just a couple years ago and fills in beautifully.  Will prove fun to watch the birds gather this spring.


I knew that matters had gotten well in hand when two Belted Kingfishers crossed my path on the way to school not far from where the pond resides.

The pond adds another element of diversity to an already impressively mixed environment.
