Indian Lake



These are just a couple of pictures I took while riding around Indian Lake, with my son Tyler. We were just killing sometime and getting his hours in for his drivers license. I brought my camera of course but this wasn't a photo trip.



I think it is going to be an early Fall, some of the trees were already turning.



I took these at one of inlets where we could park and explore.







Had a little fun in PhotoShop with this next one.



How cool would it be to be the Fireman that gets to ride this beauty!



Nothing to really go WOW about, but my son got some driving time in and I got a few pics. Oh and we did have the most awesome ice cream in Russell's Point.

Wild Turkey Spotted

The following pictures and story were sent to me by Lee Miller.

I was driving on 703 between Celina and St.Marys in the pouring rain. The car ahead of me slowed and came to a stop. I noticed there were two birds crossing the road. I didn’t pay too much attention because there are always geese crossing the road around the lake area, and hopefully, everyone stops to let them across.



Then, I noticed the color – black! I pulled off the road to try to photograph this pair of wild turkeys. The male was courting the female with a display of tail feathers and very vocal gobbling. She would respond, and they would dance around each other.



Looks like Lee is becoming quite the wildlife photographer. Thanks for the Post Lee.

Night Life in Auglaize County

The following picture and story were sent to me by Lee Miller.

These little guys lived in a tree, and would come out to see the world. That particular night was the first rain they had ever seen, and they would come out of the woods onto the cement drive to find little puddles and would take their hands and splash in the water.



I knelt down, and I will never forget….one climbed on my knee, took my camera strap and pulled it down hand over hand looking at it very closely as he pulled it. They would pull on your shoe string with their teeth like puppies. I have no idea where momma was, but the babies were not too afraid, But, they had nothing to be afraid of there.

Thanks Lee, great story and picture. Those guys are just too cute.
