There was an elderly couple staying next to us with I guess their granddaughter. This kid never stopped moving or talking as loud as she could. The poor grandpa took this kid on so many hikes and it never seemed to tire this kid out. But at least he tried to keep her from annoying people. They left Sunday morning and peace was restored. I wish I had a 1/4 her energy.
Tracy took a few short hikes which she really enjoyed and wished I could go with her. I would have loved to but I sure don't need any more falls.
I did manage a few walks to the Wild Life Feeding area, don't know why they call it that because its mostly fowl and squirrels. But it was pretty packed on Sat. from early morning until late afternoon. Sunday was great and I went down there a few times. Unfortunately that's when the camera started to not focus on a few pictures.
Took this shot over the deck to the side of out Casita
I took this through the window
Took this from the deck, all the dirt was washed away during a very heavy rain this summer, I zoomed in on this as it was on the other side of the creek and off the deck
this little moth was no bigger than my thumb nail
OK Sondra, other birders I was thinking this was a Lesser Goldfinch but he has that fluffy black head, any one know for sure?
I'm thinking this is a juvenile Oriole?
Have A Great Day All
Aww Nice! You're right on with the lesser goldfinch, the other bird is a black headed grosbeak!
ReplyDeleteHi Sondra,
ReplyDeleteThanks I have so many more pics from this trip I will post a few at time. Maybe tomorrow I'll post the videos of the creek.
Great pictures, Jo. I sometimes have trouble focusing my camera as well. It's a Canon. Other times it works great.
ReplyDeleteThe potatoes sound great! I'm glad you had a good time. A person just cannot beat that kind of relaxation. BTW, I love the bird photos. :)
Hi Brad,
ReplyDeleteThank You! I too have a Canon and I have never had this problem before. I'm hoping I can figure out if I moved something I shouldn't have.
When I first started camping again way back a few of my camping friends told me about them. dried they have a pretty good shelf life.
Yes to be able to relax like that is so wonderful. Can't wait for the cooler weather so I can actual go camping. Much cheaper for sure.
Glad you were able to make the trip. Loved the pictures.
ReplyDeletePoor grandpa, the kid would have gotten to me too!
