I had a garden blooms post planned...or maybe a book round up because I'm listening to a ridiculous 3 audiobooks at once right now lol But after a week of highs and lows - I decided to end on a tranquil note with these pictures that make me sigh with relaxation...
These are a gaggle (the name for a group of geese) of geese headed into the water at the park. I counted at least 25 fluffy goslings with three distinct family groups. This is my favorite time of year to walk in this particular park (a 3 mile walk around a lake) and it didn't disappoint.
This is a little hummingbird that was visiting the hanging baskets on my deck. He/she gets very frustrated when I'm sitting outside lol and this is the first time I was even able to get any sort of picture of it. It's not the greatest pic but I love how it's just floating with the sky behind them. (it's the little blob to the right - almost center - between the hanging basket and deck planter)
And this is a picture from a trail at a college campus that we take the dogs walking on. The weather was perfect - cool with sun peaking out between the trees and birds tweeting. SO relaxing! I always feel like walking in the woods out here is like stepping back in time.
I hope you all had a great week and have a relaxing/fun weekend! 💕
Zen is good! Love the goslings. And trails like that in the woods. It does feel like a different world.
ReplyDeleteThe trails out here are almost a little scary lol They remind me of the covers you feature - a dinosaur coming out and eating me lol
DeleteI always think of Sasquatches when I think of deep woods in PNW
DeleteThey have a Sasquatch festival in town! It's a big thing out here lol
DeleteGreat pictures! Love the baby ducks
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was super relaxing sitting on the bench and watching them go in and out of the water for a swim.
DeletePretty pictures! And yay for cute little goslings :-D
ReplyDeleteI usually watch them from birth to when they get older but I haven't been able to get to the park. I'm glad I didn't miss the fluffy teen stage lol
DeleteAwwww babies!! So cute
ReplyDeleteIt made me happy lol
DeleteI had a crazy week and am looking at a crazy week ahead so thank you for this moment of tranquility. Especially love the last two photos.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your week, but glad the pictures helped :-)
DeleteLove the shot of the hummingbird. We added bird feeders in addition to the hummingbird ones that we already had, and I get such peace just sitting out and watching all the visitors. My husband had an unexpected stint in the hospital this week (he's much better now), so I've really needed that zen.
ReplyDeleteI can't do seed feeders because we have evil cats in the neighborhood. But these little guys mature me happy when they come around.
DeleteI'm glad your husband is doing OK. That sounds scary.
I love these photos. The hummingbird picture is wonderful. I love its silhouette against the sky in mid hover. Thanks for sharing. 😊
ReplyDeleteThanks. They are sooooo hard to get pictures of. They hate when I sit outside lol
DeleteWonderful photos. Thanks for sharing. I've been out straight for the past three weeks and am trying to catch up now. I need Zen!
ReplyDeleteEep! You've been busy lately.
DeleteOh man, those pictures are very relaxing. I would love to have a place like that to walk to and just relax for a while.
ReplyDeleteWe're so lucky to have so many places like that around here. I love that trail because it has both paved and unpaved depending on how adventurous you want/are able to be.
DeleteThat lake/park looks like a beautiful place to walk. Love the photos!
