It's time for another one of our walks around the pond. I've got a fresh pot of coffee brewing and there's some tea steeping over there. Grab a cup of your preference and let's head out the door.This neighbour's garden always catches my eye just before we enter the park. I like the brilliant contrast of red and yellow spring colours.This sweet, little squirrel is watching us from a lichen-covered tree branch. He knows I sometimes bring him peanuts. I don't have any on me today - sorry, buddy.
I photograph this scene in every season and in all kinds of weather. It's one of my favourite views in the park. Blossoms are in full bloom. Enjoy them - they won't last too long.As we move along the walkway, more blossoms are peeking out between the crisscross of the chain-link fence.On the other side of the path, I happen to notice a burr just dangling from a twig. I thought it merited a photo.Doesn't this Canada Goose look so beautiful in the golden sunlight. Such a regal bird.Though the ducks caught my eye first, I was taken with how the three different tree parts and their respective reflections made interesting angles in the water.Heading back home, we get a full view of the dock and the budding willow behind it. Isn't spring a great season?Thanks for joining me on this morning walk. Just leave your empty cup on the counter. I'll have it washed and ready for you for next time.
