...during a 45-minute walk around a lake:
- a strong flowing waterfall, due to all the recent rain. Geese were lined up at the top of it, having an afternoon snooze; a blue heron was at the bottom of it, possibly looking for a snack in the water. Amazing that the heron could remain so still and upright with all that water coming at it, given its spindly legs
- two little girls feeding a crowd of ducks and geese, while their moms were talking and paying no attention at all. The girls would squeal and laugh whenever the ducks or geese would quack or eat whatever the girls had just thrown at them. One of the girls was dressed in a too-cute pink ballet costume and had blond hair messily pulled up into a ponytail.
- turtles poking their heads out of the water, and quickly pulling them back in again
- a hedgehog munching on grass on one side of the walking path
- a lone swan out on the water some distance away
- a large black and yellow butterfly on the grass near a trash can
- a HUGE bee on the ground. It sounded very angry, maybe it was lost
- dogs everywhere, walking their owners
- hibiscus, wide open and showing off
- a blanket of roses and leaves clinging to the side of a high fence
Awesome.
