BEEN A VERY LONG TIME SINCE i'VE POSTED ANYTHING

Following too much on social media like Instagram, Twitter etc...that I have kind of let my blogs take a back seat.  I'm wanting to get back into blogging again. 

Anyway...took a trip about two  weeks ago down the back side of the mountains into the high desert of Hesperia and Apple Valley.  We stopped at Hesperia lake because I like to get there around the time I know the pelicans have arrived.  A lot of trees are base still and it will be more beautiful as March and April flowers and trees start blooming.  Whether winter or any other season I love to stop here for a walk around this rather small lake.  

First some geese, 

I was far away and saw this shape in the tree and thought it was a trash bag or something that the wind had blown into the tree.  We have had a lot of wind this winter so it made sense..  I then took this photo and so sad it appears a goose was trapped in the branches.  I have no idea how long it has been like this.  I watch for quite awhile and it never moved so I assume it was dead.  Sad.
