Found by my lab, Max, on our various urban dog jogs: a plastic Easter egg filled with jellybeans, a magnet letter W (upside down letter M for Max & now on my fridge), used gloves and syringes (ewww), a wooden sign with the word “BEST” in gold glitter, half a tiny bird eggshell.

I love to see the Goldfinches swoop down in front of me.

Yes, the Goldfinches are so cute, I love the bright yellow. They always make me smile. Thank you Claudette.

Sounds like fun, Julie! Guided and inspired by a Great Blue Heron at lift off… both a majestic sight and an inspiring form of movement. Unless I learn the Heron’s flight skills between then and now it unlikely I’ll be able to join up en vivo. In Spirit? Yes!

The "great blue heron"

Clearly not a misnomer

Majestic in flight

Although all birds captivate me in so many ways, the Great Blue Heron, as it lifts off, startles me as my eyes behold in utter disbelief such beauty, grace and power...

I agree Clark. All birds just amaze me but to see the Great Blue Heron lift off is a show stopper! :) Enjoy your day.

During my early morning rides to the Y to swim, I don't see creatures but hear them: crickets, birds, cicadas. The birds are my favorite - their first songs are almost timid. I love them.
