My Favorite Things......

 Can't wait to see the gardens

 the ocean

all the lovely birds

but most of all, my family.......

Ring-billed Gulls Having Fun

I don't know why, but I find galls so amusing...their behavior cracks me up. When I was at the marsh last Sunday there was a huge flock of galls...also called a flotilla or squabble of galls. They were making a terrible racket. I think that they came over from that huge Canadian trash mountain next door. Anyway, I couldn't help but put a few captions on some of my photos :-)

"Girls, I need a pedi"

Going somewhere important?

"Everyone face north.....Gerry, face north"

Crack O' Dawn April

 Went to Crack O' Dawn this morning....first time in four months. It was good seeing everyone. Our walk was cold, damp and muddy although I did see a song bird to put on my life list. We saw Tundra Swans flying over as well as an egret. I was up to my ankles in mud and regretted not wearing my boots. Breakfast after is always the best!

Deer everywhere and they all looked so hungry....they came right up to us and Paul shooed them away :-(

 Ice/snow mix on path

Paul IDs this feather as a Gadwall duck. We think he met his end at the trails edge...the duck not Paul ;-)

Veronica, Pat, Bernie and Inge

For those of you who don't know Inge, I want to tell you that she is a good woman. She carries a plastic bag and  picks up trash along the trail. Her and Bernie also participate in the park clean -up day in the spring.

Kitchens at The Henry Ford

 Or...you've come a long way baby!

I would have loved to see a kitchen from the 50s of better yet from the 70s. I remember my kitchen, circa 1972...I loved that kitchen and thought that it was beautiful. All the appliances were avocado green and there was a floral green and peach colored wallpaper.......I think that the Formica was peach as well. Now, looking back that avocado was just plain ugly! We even had an avocado trash compacter.....remember those?

My Spring Walk at the Marsh

These are photos from my Sunday walk at Crosswinds Marsh. All pictures are edited or "enhanced". I had so much fun with these images. I hope that you enjoy......
