Sunday walk

We walked in light rain this morning. We chose an urban wetland with a loop trail of 1.8 miles  (4000 steps) . Not many others walking and surprisingly no one with a dog. When we've walked here before there have been many walkers with their dogs.

With the help of M I can get my photos onto my computer using a card reader.   It takes me a bit longer but at least I can do it. He had never done such before but took one look and knew just what to do.
11 year olds are smarter these days and so comfortable with all things to do with computers.

None are visible on this picture but there were so many swallows swooping over the water. Besides the usual ducks and Canada geese we did see an Eagle (being harassed by crows).


 The grass beside the path was taller than me!!

A pretty shrub that I don't know the name of.





Thanks for visiting today. I hope your Sunday is a lovely one.

  3. Beautiful pictures and sounds like you had a nice walk. We just had a little rain and it was refreshing. I hope it cools things off but got a feeling it will be muggy on this hot June day. Happy week to you dear lady. Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  7. No dogs on the way makes it sometimes easier :)

    Look the high grass! This is summer: Suddeenly grass is so high, some days before it was not there - -

    The bushes with the flowers are nice friends on the way.

  11. A very pretty and lush place to walk! Yesterday I saw a beaver swimming in the little river that goes under my road. He was BIG. So fun! I also saw an eagle, a vulture and a heron yesterday. It never gets old, does it? :)

  15. What a beautiful walk, with such lovely flowers. Walking in rain, as long as it is not too heavy, can be very refreshing and you are right children manage technology so easily, it puts me to shame!
