this morning had a great walk to the Park…

on my way saw a bunny and a gaggle of geese… crossed the street so as not to disturb them… was a bit of a surprise to see them on a sidewalk, but maybe they were checking out the Little Library, lol…

crossing the walking bridge I spotted a brief of pelicans… I think there were nine in total and there was a cormorant with them… it was clearly preening time…

my camera battery quit midway through my walk so I took the rest of the photos with my iPhone… it always makes me giggle when it announces that it is exhausted, lol…

today I seemed to lean toward white…

although I did focus on a few frogs, lol…

a much less crowded visit than the one on Sunday… the one sad thing was that our bench was being watered so I couldn’t sit…

ended the visit checking out the ducks and geese at the Riley Family Duck Pond…

had a spur-of-the-moment walk and breakfast with a friend…

she texted me early to see if I wanted to go for a wander through the English and Leo Mol Gardens… of course I did;-)…

threw on my clothes, walked over and met her at the Park…

we had a lovely visit as we circled the Gardens being careful not to get sprinkled on as many sections and paths were getting misted, lol…

from there we moved over to the Park Cafe for a great breakfast…

and then we enjoyed a little retail therapy…

lovely treat to start the day…

saw the most interesting seeds on the ground as I was walking home tonight…

I think they were seeds… looking up the street portions of the sidewalk were green and I couldn’t figure out why…

when I got to those spots the cement was covered in what looked like tiny green leaves… I’ve never seen this before…

clearly it had to do with a particular type of tree, not sure what kind… did a little research but no particular tree jumped out at me…

I did read something about a response to stress causing a huge drop of seeds;-(…

today I had an eye appointment… good news is that my eyes are looking great… not so good news is that I probably need to consider new glasses… had to wait for a while to see my eye doctor…

spent a few minutes waiting by Sargent Sundae…

then met a friend and we went for lunch at the Park Café and a walk around the English Garden… it was overcast and a bit windy, but it was nice to be outdoors…

one of my favourite photos from our time in the Garden… I’m always looking for flowers and frogs in the ponds, lol…

first water lily of the season…

early this morning watered all the plants in the garden with a bucket… it meant that I got lots of steps in and did a bit of weight training, lol…

summer is nearly upon us…

so enjoy the time to wander around the space and enjoy the beauty…

morning is my best time… by the end of the day I am often just interested in vegging out in front of the tv…

got up early and went for a walk to the Park… temperature was going to 34° and will feel like 39° Celsius…

so an early walk seemed like a good plan, lol..

by the time I got home just before 10, it was already hot…

as I was walking down the next street, two bunnies froze in place as I was coming down the sidewalk… the yard they were in was filled with dandelions which they love…

they really think if they freeze the person walking along won’t see them, lol…

as soon as I passed them, they both hopped away…

as I was walking home last night I stopped by the creek and watched the mallard couple for quite a while…

they were swimming up and down the creek calmly…

was so busy enjoying the moment that I didn’t take any photos…

but I have this one from last week, when a mallard popped out of the water at the Duck Pond…

cute, eh…

on my walk home tonight I stopped at the creek and spent a few minutes looking it over…

the water level is very low…

doesn’t seem that long ago that there was water everywhere…

after all the snow, it seems amazing that everything is so dry now…

busy day as I researched and decided on which version of iPhone X I would upgrade to…

walked up and down Polo Park a few times as I checked out the various options…

one of the things I was most interested in was the quality of the camera, as I take many photos…

also, size of the phone was important… I didn’t want something too large for my hand and that would feel uncomfortable…

and then there was the issue of the case… I have the most wonderful case now, but it isn’t available for an iPhone X…

I want something that doesn’t cover the front of the phone as I do take so many photos…

in the end I chose the iPhone X and purchased it from The Source… picked up a Huawei tablet and a Kate Spade cover…

I also found a case that holds a few credit cards… not sure yet which case I will use most, lol…

then I came home and figured out how to move my data from the old to the new…

even got the tablet working with all the apps I use… it will be fun to learn the android system…

looking forward to playing with these new toys;-)…
