A rose by any other name … but in November?

Here are a few more photos from Big Cedar Lodge, starting with rose bushes.  Thanksgiving day the temperature got into the low sixties, but last year at the same time it was snowing.

Carp pond

There were a number of large carp and catfish in this pond.  One catfish, we were told, was estimated at 27 pounds.  In cold weather they would normally hide in the depths, but this day they were congregating at the surface, waiting for someone to drop a quarter into the fish-food dispenser and scatter the surface with treats.
