That's a great place. If you're in the area spring/summer/fall, you'll see a lot more birds.

In the summer I’ve usually got a couple pair of wood ducks on the pond/lake out back. Fun to watch them float by.

Unreal...

I saw that and thought "That looks like my sister's Helleborus!"

Ummm, yeah, I just never heard them called Lenten rose... Learn something every day! Now, if only I could remember half the stuff I learn!

I carry trail running shoes (for hiking and walking around town) and sandals if it’s summer.

Local honey and hot tea!

Are those also your around town shoes when touring, or do you carry other shoes?

I’m doing somewhat better and even did some walking yesterday. I do however have a little bit of a cough and a very runny nose. I’m glad I got a chance to try out my new bike shoes. It’s great having shoes that don’t have shoelaces that will break!

Whoa, not one you were hunting! :-)

Nice beak!

Hoping Rachael feels better and is soon back in her snazzy new shoes

Thanks! Blue sky is so overrated, don’t you think? You see one clear blue sky, you’ve seen them all.

So did I. That’s why this one made the cut.

And there is the new bridge over I-84 for pedestrians and cyclists.

I like the shadow.

I love it when the bushtits blast into our yard. They always seem so social and happy. They move on quickly to somewhere else unless I am watering plants in the yard. I spray a whole bunch of plants which raises insects and the bushtits have a feast. I also love how there are always a few chickadees that tag along with the bushtit group.
