DRAGONFLY AT THE LAKE

How is your spring going?

I saw this dragonfly the other day at the lake, the same day I saw some bullfrogs.  I have been walking the lake path for almost three years now and have never seen a frog.  I was really excited when I heard their bullfrog croak.

WHEN I WAS RECENTLY IN WASHINGTON

I spent a lot of time out in the yard watching the grandkids on the trampoline or in the garden - and also watching birds.

It was early one morning when I saw this junco finding his breakfast.

I LOVE WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE ANIMATED PART

A FEW BIRD PHOTOS FROM MY RECENT TRIP TO PORT ORCHARD, WASHINGTON

I had a nice time recently in Washington for the last week.  My daughter in law was at a salon so dropped me off so I could sight see for an hour or so.

First thing I saw was this seagull.

Besides the seagulls I found some house sparrows.  One seemed to be waving at me but he was probably getting ready to scratch his face.

SEAGULL IN PISMO

I'm glad I went back to this file of photos from Thanksgiving 2015.  I had forgot about them until the other day.  This is also the day that a sea lion was on the beach and I believe in some kind of distress.

ANOTHER PISMO SEAGULL

SEAGULL IN PISMO

I was at the coast towards the end of January and took quite a few seagull photos.  I am still editing days of photos from my trip.  Problem is I visit the coast and take lots of photos but then I come home and we have day trips out to different places and then I get inundated with photos but eventually i'll get my favorites up.  Here is a favorite.

There were egrets and seagulls on the beach looking for food so I got quite a few photos with the waves swelling behind them.

I LOVE IT WHEN WHITE CROWNED SPARROWS STOP BY.

I LOVE THIS CHICKEN OR IS IT A ROOSTER

Who resides in Arroyo Grande and runs in a group and I think may even rule the town.  I saw at least five different ones who were hanging out together.
