I met my friend Carol and we walked over to Stow Lake. We haven't been there in a month.... Autumn IS on her way..... less people, hungrier *critters*....so, armed with two loaves of bread, two large packages of peanuts and one huge box of Cheerios....we set off on a semi-Sunny day. That *Autumn Tingle* is in the air.... even here. We began at my *Magic Grove* where I met the Red Fox many months ago...
No Red Foxes....but some red berries..
And leaves...
Someone had the fabulous idea of creating a lovely bench from a downed tree.
Okay..time to meet my beloved Stellar Jays again!
 |
| They ADORE Peanuts!!!! |
 |
| Where's MY peanut!!!!! |
 |
| I love to place some peanuts in the hollow of this tree. The Stellar Jays are SO SMART....as soon as they watch me put the peanuts in..they are right there.... |
 |
| I know I am beautiful!!! But more peanuts please! Stop taking photos! |
Happy Animal Thursday!!!! Tomorrow...back to the Opera House!
Love,
♥ Robin ♥
Happy late Animal Wednesday. :) Love that bench. also your stellar jays head. I dont remember seeing the blue stripes on our birds head.. will have to check that out. Great photos. glad you had a good time walking.
ReplyDeleteCris, that bench was so cool... what a great way to make use out of a downed tree! The bench was really comfortable too...plus it smelled heavenly!
DeleteI will be curious to see if your Stellars have those blue stripes!
Love,
♥ Robin ♥

DeleteLove,
♥ Robin ♥
Thank you ever so much for the lovely walk! So beautiful. We vacationed once in San Francisco...it WAS beautiful, but the visit was quite tainted by the LOSS OF MY LUGGAGE! Long story. Wishing we could visit again. OOooo, I just did, with you! **blows kisses** Deb
ReplyDeleteOooh..Deb... how awful... losing one's luggage is the worst! I hope the airline eventually found it.....
DeleteSF is still very lovely....I wish the two of you could return too.....
Love and Kisses to you and your Brawny Man!
♥ Robin ♥
I'll need to do that walk with you one day :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Stellars and of course, squirrely!
Pace yourself at the opera my dear. There's only one YOU!

Lo♥
Hey there BS....we WILL do this walk together!!!!
DeleteDoing my best to *pace* myself...this week will be the most intense...2 more Operas going into rehearsal mode...hmmm..perhaps I should bring a sleeping bag!!! A-ha-ha!
Miss you.
Love,
♥ LS ♥
You guys went well-armed with food - lucky critters! I've been saving up the bread ends in my freezer for when the geese arrive.
ReplyDeleteCS! You have surfaced! Lovely to hear from you! Yes, Carol and joke about how much food we now bring...but as Autumn approaches, the *critters* will need more food...
DeleteWe still have a few Geese here...every time I visit, there are less....they must be headed *your way* soon!
Welcome Back!
Big Hugs,
♥ Robin ♥
