Annie's Song
You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again
Another morning of dense fog along the coast early Sunday. I couldn't take another day without being outdoors somewhere, walking. So, off I go to Calallen Texas, to one of my favorite parks. I saw many birds, mostly ducks and water fowl, but I thought I'd share a few of the 'blotched' poses of them, plus some of the park grounds...

A cardinal refusing to look directly at me. And no sooner as I clicked the shutter button, he flew off!

A blue-gray gnatcather was flittin' 'round in the bushes; most times a gray blur!

A wren was bathing at the drip pool.
Most of the areas where anyone can park their vehicle was so muddy and filled with wheel ruts and ooey-gooey goo, I decided to just get out and walk the grounds instead of taking a chance of getting stuck...




There will be one consolation prize coming this Spring when the days grow warmer and hopefully dry up a bit....
the wildflowers will be thick as honey!!!! I'm looking forward to seeing the Bluebonnets along the highways and byways and in the fields.

Hello, looks like a nice day for a walk. Love the birds and nature scenes. Happy Monday, enjoy your day and have a great new week ahead.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY Monday to you too, Eileen...thanks.
DeleteThat's how I get in the winter being stuck in the house all the time but I don't really have anywhere to escape to. Today should feel like spring since the temps are supposed to be in the 50s
ReplyDeleteThe walls begin to squeeze me ... lol
DeleteI love the bench sitter and the moss. beautiful. the little gray gnatcatcher is adorable.. I am so glad I never signed up for G plus, it is going to be a mess
ReplyDeleteI agree...a big, confusing mess!
DeleteI am also glad I didn't use Google + although I did sign up for it. It was hard to use, so I didn't stay with it. I love your pictures, especially the pretty gray bird. :-)
ReplyDeleteThose birds are difficult to photograph...lol
DeleteI have NO idea if I ever signed up for Google+ so I'll just wait and see what happens! Neat photos!
ReplyDeleteI think if you have never used it...you're okay.
DeleteI think I like your nest shot the best. It almost look like a Weaver's nest. Can't wait for your wildflower pictures! I remember this song very well. Such a cute little wren picture! I saw a new bird this week, yeah!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a nest too, but not sure. It could be just ball moss.
DeleteI am looking forward to your wildflower pictures. Cold and drab here :(
ReplyDeleteWell...at least you had a sunny Sunday.
DeleteWe’ve got good weather back on this part of the Gulf Coast; wishing the same for you soon. I’m grateful you showed your uncooperative cardinal! Makes you seem more human ...you usually have such perfectly beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteWell, thanks & I'm happy to know I'm more human thru your eyes now. 😁
DeleteI love that song, and had it running through my head as I looked at your beautiful pics. I don't think I have an account with Google plus, but I better check it out. I'd hate to lose pictures!
ReplyDeleteHello Mari....it's good to see you after your storms & cold snap!
DeleteIt sure look closer to spring weather in your area and then in mine.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
It's green most of the year here. Unless a drought of course.
DeleteFinally I am able to comment on blogger..... who knows.... hours later I cleaned out all my cookies closed all my sites such as twitter passwords and logged in using Safari. WHoo hooo. Wonderful when it all works... Great pics as always.. :)
ReplyDeleteDidn't realize you had computer woes! Glad for you now it's fixed!
DeleteHelloagain :)
ReplyDeleteThe 6th photo reminds me of Harry Potter movie..the whipping tree... am glad this ones doesnt moves so that our little feathred friends can built their nest on it
Lol...I guess it does! Happy New year!
DeleteOh,I can hardly wait to see all the spring wildflowers, which I am sure you will post.I did sign into Google+ but never really liked how it worked.
ReplyDeleteNot too many liked it.
DeleteI would love to have a place near like this to go walk...where I could see wildlife/birds...and just be out...I cannot wait to see the blue bonnet pictures. And other flowers, too, but I always looked forward to seeing bloggers post the fields of blue bonnets...
ReplyDeleteI wish they'd bloom longer!
DeleteHello from (frozen) Alberta, Canada. Lovely (warm) blog you have here … Me think me will stay awhile … smiles … Thank you. Love, cat.
ReplyDeleteHi Cat!
