Nisqually Delta

We went for a morning walk with Uncle Don to the Nisqually Delta a week or so ago. The morning was nice, a break from the rain -- but pretty cold out. We made it out to the new board walk and took a bit of time on the new portion. However, it was pretty windy and cold in which Hudson was not enjoying at all. So, we turned back. Soon we'll have to pick a calm warm morning to try it again as it was beautiful!!!

The walk was rewarding as always. A lot of juvenile bald eagles, hawk, herons, cranes, ducks, geese, sand pipers, bittern and more! We even saw evidence of beaver... so cool!

Evening Walk

Tonight we headed out for a nice evening walk - it was a nice time and empty at the park. Holly enjoyed her little scooter for our walk and Hudson had a good time in his little red car. The lake was looking very pretty, the trees are starting to change. A new season is upon us making for a beautiful evening!

Family Walk

Yesterday afternoon we headed out for a nice family walk on a latter portion of the Orting Trail. Holly has become very skilled on her bike in recent weeks, so we loaded her bike up and she went for a bike ride. She did so good, hit the hills like they were not much of anything and practiced her braking skills coming back down them.

Along the way we hit a patch of small daisies scattered in the grass. She jumped off and enjoyed them, picked me a big hand full for Mother's Day and ran through the flowers. It was a lot of fun!

And, who can pass up a nice stroll holding your husband's hand.... so sweet!

Fall Walk & My Camera

It just doesn't get better: a beautiful morning, my family, a morning walk and my camera... with a little time to play too! Saturday morning we headed out to take advantage of the crisp morning sun and took a morning walk. This is one of our favorite paths in town, a good length and the park is simply fun.

This morning I brought along my camera - I just don't get enough time to play with it and try my hand and different kinds of photos. So, this morning I captured some fall berries and mushrooms of sorts. There were some really cool items to photograph... it was hard to choose and keep up with Bryan & Holly on our walk!
