Wow, just wow! You don't see this every day. I don't know who thought this rube goldberg rope repair was safe, but there you have it. This looks like a vehicle versus pole accident aftermath, where they put in the replacement pole, but haven't yet moved all of the wires (including electricity) to it. I felt very uneasy walking underneath this, to get to the other side, where the view of the reservoir is.

I took those photographs at the reservoir (where the reservoir aerator is) in Easton, CT this past week.

In some places, the water is still fully frozen over, but here, the ice has started to melt.

Seeing a robin is the harbinger of Spring, so I was happy to see a group of about six robins hopping around, in search of worms here.

I'm not sure if those females were the Common Merganser or the Red-breasted Merganser.

I don't know when common decency and respect for other people's property ceased to matter to people on this planet, but discarding trash within feet of our public drinking water supply is high on the list of examples of how despicable humankind has become. There were two empty glass bottles of Heineken beer, a broken one, and the original carton they came in, littered here. To whoever did this: you are a cancer on this planet.

Photobomb - to move into the frame of a photograph as it is being taken as a joke or prank

I'm taking some liberties with my use of the term photobomb, because the Canada Goose that flew through the first photograph above was just doing his own thing, and had no idea I was taking a photo of the other ones that were in the water. The photographs are shown in reverse order. First, I noticed a bunch of Canadian Geese, standing on the dam. As time went on, some got into the water, to swim away. Then, some would take flight, as was the case with the one who photobombed my snapshot of the ones in the water.

I don't normally post blurry photographs, but I thought that one was good enough and had enough visual interest to make an exception to my rule.

If you look closely at the first photo, you'll see a butterfly underneath the bottom flower.

An interesting looking light blue dragonfly photo bombed my last photo. Unfortunately the light blue one never landed where I could get a photo of him.
