...Can you spot the green kingfisher?...
My first intention was to walk the grounds of this park and search for birds. It was early when I arrived, very little bird activity at the time. I became engrossed with the verdant beauty of my surroundings and found myself looking up at the majestic greenery, I forgot about birds. Except for hearing a kingfisher on the river as I stepped out on the boardwalk that hangs over the slow moving water [seen above as she readied to fly away], a hawk that flew nearby into a tree and I stopped to photograph it in the mist...several vultures on a radio tower off in the distance away from the park, a few what I believed to be female indigo buntings at the pond, and heard a cardinal. Other than that it was a silent respite from the bustle of city dwelling at home!!
...stopping by the woods:
Miles to go before I sleep. And miles to go before I sleep...
Part I
Part II
What a pretty park that is.
ReplyDeletea place I would love to wander.. trees are my THING and they are every where here. I love paths through woods also.... I did not see the bird in the first one until I read the comment and looked again. talk about perfect camouflage...
ReplyDeleteI found it! And those trees in the fog are so soothing to look at. :-)
ReplyDeleteTook me a minute but I found him. I admire how you can tell which bird by the sound it makes.
ReplyDeleteI would love to walk in the woods! None here but there is a walking park in town that has lots of oak trees. Perhaps when and if it ever gets cold, I’ll take a sweater and go for a walk there. Knee replacement surgery is scheduled for the 6th of January so I’m not walking much these days.
ReplyDeleteLooking at your beautiful photos, I can just feel the quietness which is only broken by an occasional bird's call. I would want to go there often..."before I sleep."
ReplyDeleteHello, pretty park and nice place for your walk. Beautiful photos. Enjoy your day and the birds!
ReplyDeleteDeep, green, and cool I am thinking. And the poem is just perfect for these posts!
ReplyDeleteI "almost" felt that there should be monkeys swinging from tree to tree and maybe even peering out through the branches at me.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery along that walk.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty park! Thanks for taking us with you.
ReplyDeleteI so wish there was some place relatively close like this. It is so appealing.
