what a delightful way to begin the day…

looked out the front window just after 7 am and spotted this goose…

watched if for quite a while before heading back to bed, lol…

then, just after nine, as I was making breakfast, I walked out to the living room and spotted five mallards across the street…

they all came over, but only two of them stopped for a snack under the bird feeders;-)… I was happy when I caught this one as it was leaving…

startle…

on Monday’s walk I focussed on checking out the trees as on Sunday I watched a webinar on bird nests and eggs…

this is down by the creek and if you look closely at the bottom of the trees, you can see where the beaver has been busy…

was excited to discover a mallard couple in a puddle in a field…

wasn’t able to get too close because I didn’t want to startle them but had a lovely few minutes watching them;-)…

also collected many Pokémon items…

ducks…

today I spotted a few visitors in the neighbourhood…

all day my baby bunny friend has been popping up in the garden… I think we are becoming friends, lol…

now it sits closer to me and for longer periods;-)…

later in the day, as I was getting my steps in, I saw a mallard pair sitting under the pine tree next door… not sure I’ve ever seen ducks this close to the house…

beautiful couple…

well, today was more like it… second day of my .9 time and a beautiful one…

slept in a bit and had a leisurely breakfast… headed out and got a few errands done… even booked an oil change for the car…

new shoes, bra, swimsuit and groceries…

  
nice haul… once I got home I took a walk around the creek…

saw a wood duck couple and got a few pictures…

  
very exciting because we’ve only seen mallards in the creek… the mallards have been nesting here for the last thirty years…

  
here’s the fella… beautiful…

later, spent a bit of time weeding the front flower bed… the rubber mulch isn’t doing quite what I was hoping for… grass is still coming through, sigh…

  
beautiful day… looking forward to many more like it:-)…
