Come for a walk with me...

All the nature and garden pics in the last few days got me salivating for a meander around one of my favourite spots. Jericho Beach park is just off one of my several alternate routes between work and home, but silly me, I don't stop to enjoy it nearly often enough. One of its charms, aside from the fact that, as the name suggests, it is right at the beach, is that in the midst of trees and grassy areas, there are streams and ponds and marshes that attract water fowl.

It was lovely this morning, so I grabbed the camera on the way out the door, with the intention of stopping on the way home from work, for a little walk and some pics, which I did. Come for a walk with me...



Many ducks, often in pairs...





That is sand you see beyond the trees, and in the distance the north shore mountains...





And more ducks...





...more in the next post...

And finally, some geese...











And a little treat in the garden, when I got home! The California Poppies have popped...

What a wonderful walk that was! Can we go again tomorrow???

Those are some great pictures!! I love it. Can't wait to see more!

Thanks Susie, and everyone. Glad you enjoyed the walk.

Water pics, Sooz? That can be arranged. The beaches around here are pretty calm, because we're sheltered by Vancouver Island, but it's still pretty nice. I think they said this nice weather is about to break up, so it may be a few days, but we'll go for another walk soon.

It's beautiful!!! Are you somewhere around Washington?

What a beautiful park. That gives me an idea. I don't know when the last time was that I walked through the Castle Gardens here, but I think it's time to do it again.

About 3 hrs north of Seattle, just across the border.

Eagle fans: there are several coming and going from the Eagle Tree today.
