Yard Flowers

The Day's Treasures

While riding my bike along Lake Washington, I somehow noticed an orange feather sticking out of the grass at the side of the road. When I got off my bike to pick it up I found a few more. I'm certain they are the tailfeathers of a Flicker. Looking at the Flickers that visit my yard convinced me that was right.

Mother's Day

On mother's day I walked the dogs (Bella - German Shepherd Mix; Gretel - Rough Coat Jack Russell Terrier) with my friend Miriam and her French Bulldog, Clovis, in Seward Park. Afterward, I rode my bike along Lake Washington Blvd (Bike Day - Yay!) and saw more interesting natural wonders. I'm always surprised how many "wild" things I see so close to the city! Photos in this blog contain images or Eagles, a Falcon (?) and a Beaver, Flicker Tail Feathers that I found and a Bumble Bee.

I've posted the photos on Flickr.
