It's time to join me for a walk in the park. Grab a hat and some sunscreen. These hazy days are deceiving.
Twin Iris. Born of the same stalk.
Frank pointed out this young Robin primping.
And preening.
A duckling explores the water and comes up empty-billed.
Our local Painted turtle basking in the sunlight on the slope of the dam. The water sparkles behind him.
Up above him, Mr. Blue does a fly-by.
I hope you enjoyed our walk around the pond. Can I pour you a coffee?
This was a scheduled post. I will not be able to return visits for about a few more days because I am away at the cottage. I do have some more scheduled posts though, and they will be coming up soon.

And . . . notice . . . in the daisy . . . there is one teeny irregularity. Such is nature: nothing is perfect. Everything has some very slight distinguishing mark. There's a lesson in there somewhere.
Little baby robin needs a lot of primping! :-p
Always a treat....enjoy!
what a great way to start my day - i've got a fresh cuppa sitting to my right, and got to see daisies and ducklings that made me gasp. :)
I very much enjoyed this walk,and yes,I will join you for a cup of coffee.Make mine black,please.
Magnificent, all. Your turtle pic is just gorgeous.
It makes me smile to see all of these lovelies.
What a great walk - full of fabulous sights.
I'll take my coffee white - no sugar, please.
It is always so lovely going on walks with you. :) Beautiful!
Oh that baby bird has won my heart
Lovely shots
Robin reminds me of my Sweetie, who primps and preens the same way!
Made me smile, all of them.
Wow, you caught the water on the duck mid-drip. Perfect pictures, and picture perfect!
Yes, I did enjoy the pond. The pictures were extremely beautiful. Your pictures that I did enjoy were the flowers, magnificent.
Hilary, I like cream and sugar with my coffee, thanks! That daisy is wonderful, one of my fav flowers! And that adorable little bird.
amazing :)
Wonderful! The first shot of the fledgling robin is a heart-grabber. He looks so vulnerable!
Lovely!!! I especially like the baby robin! Hope you are having a wonderful time at the cabin.

Hillary, I would love to sit by the pond with you and a cup of coffee! All the little critters and flowers are wonderful - like always ;)
Lovely photos! Did you use a macro-lens for the daisy? And the bird shots are amazing!
Enjoy the bounties of Nature :)
Blessings,
This Good Life

Love that little duckling with the water droplets on it's bill - a visit in here always opens my day with a smile!
Wow, a wild turtle. Are these common there Hilary? Enjoyed the rest of your photos too - Dave
The clarity of your work is exhilarating, So enjoyed this walk with you and your trusty magic box.
I tried some flower macros the other day. I can't seem to get the sharp focus that you manage.
Ahhhhh!:) What a joy to walk with you!
Wonderful! Thanks for taking me along!
the flowers and the birds pose for you :)
I love Benny at the car wash
Sure, I'll have a cup! Thanks. Love your pics, especially that puffy little robin.
