Pictures

 Three sets this week, the first was from Monday after work...


Cloudy, icky looking

Cut the grass on the canal since last we walked


He was yelling at us

Rain made not a dent at the Swamp



Shared the landing with a couple of little fishermen

and some 'shrooms

On to Wednesday...

Much better

Something getting re-assembled

There was a squirrel giving us a dirty look there... either he moved or I missed.

By the river, so many acorns I felt 'em through my soles


Can she find the hidden trail?  It's been a while...



Answer: No.  Abort and go around the long way.

At the Duck "Pond"



This is usually perma-wet.  Thought we'd mosey in and nose around



On to this AM...


Nice to beat the sun up and still sleep till 0720

Now here starts a fun story.  Those two specks are crows.  They circled around for a while...

...then one landed here, clearing the crossbar of other small birds.  Soon, the second crow was circling with more buddies...

...and every pass, another crow would land there.

Once they got to 4, they started leaving with every pass.  Once they had all lifted off, they flew away across the river.


This marker has become the unofficial 'lost and found'  The keys have been there for a while.  The jacket showed up a couple nights ago.  The CBD rolling papers are new.

Ran into Old Boy and Oreo, had a nice chat later.

Couple little Woodys at the Swamp





See the one laying low on the left?  They were taking turns, one at a time, splashing their wings in the water to clean up.

Well, the rain didn't change South Canal from dry to wet, but it did change it from dried scom to verdant greens.

  2. Thanks for the nature tours! Misty is a lucky girl to get such long walks. 🦮 Crows are so interesting - and noisy! Zoey doesn't like them and barks, but they won't move. 😆
