Yesterday, my Aunt and I went for a walk in Beacon Hill Park.  I wanted to show her the park, but especially the Heron nesting area.

We saw all the nests high at the top of the trees, but there didn’t seem to be a lot of feeding or baby action.

We did see some adults flying around

And then saw this fellow in a tree near one of the little lakes.  We were able to get very close – seemed a bit unusual for a heron.

Then near the nests we saw these guys wandering around on the ground – ah…the babies are out of the nests!!  I don’t know how they get back up – one hopes they are flying now!

Today, mom and my Aunt and I wandered around the gardens at Government House.  Here are some of the things I saw…

Ok, ok, I know.  This post is  a day late.  It was all cued up and ready to be posted, but I went and got comfy last night and forgot.  But here are the photos I took on a walk with my Aunt (visiting from Texas) yesterday along the water near where my mom and dad live.

Lots of sailing action.

And a little piano action too!

Those are all well and good, but you know the kind of photos I really like to take!

And finally – I think they need their money back for those spikes!
