April Showers on a Lazy Sunday

The weather this week has been perfect for ducks, or rather geese. Canada geese, that is.


When we first arrived here at the campground, there was one family of goslings. Now there are three that we've seen with many more to come judging by the numbers of pairs of geese that gather here to feed every day.


I guess our first clue about the weather here should have been these cabins built on huge pedestals.


A neighbor at our last campground told us to dine at the Lake Gunterville State Park lodge and then sit on the balcony to relax while watching the water. He said I'd get some good pictures up there. Yeah, thanks Roy, real scenic! Kidding. The weather forecast was for sunshine and clear skies today, but apparently this area of Alabama forgot to listen to the forecast. Therefore, this is what we saw while standing on the balcony of the very beautiful lodge at Lake Gunterville State Park. There really is a lake out there.


This is the view from our campsite. I'm hoping for one sunshiny day before we leave so I can get some good pictures of the lake and the hills surrounding it. We've had mist/fog/haze every day that it has not been raining.


When we drove up here from southern Alabama the difference in the trees was quite obvious. Spring had arrived in southern Alabama but the landscape north of Montgomery still looked like winter. This week with all the rain the trees finally started leafing out and showing that gorgeous spring green coloration. As well as forsythia yellow and redbud purple.


Very briefly, on our first night here, the sun peeked out for a somewhat colorful sunset. I know it can do better before we leave here on Wednesday!

Even through the mist and the fog it looks quite beautiful. Love the pictures of the baby geese. :-)
