Yellowlegs at Glendale Ponds – Always searching, wandering here and there, busy, busy.

Loggerhead Shrike – White Tank Mountain Regional Park

Glendale Recharge Ponds today – This Great Blue Heron flew so close I had to back off my telephoto. No cropping – this is the entire picture.

“To cherish what remains of the Earth and to foster its renewal is our only legitimate hope of survival.” Wendell Berry The Poppies are nearing their end at White Tank Mountain Regional Park, but other flowers and bushes are blooming. The parks are open only to the trails but there are rules to be followed and we must do so. If you can go outside and not be with others, weather permitting, I hope you will do so. I walk in my neighborhood every day, and when I meet others we wave and give plenty of space. All of you, take care, be safe, and God Bless

Chocolate Falls, or also called Grand Falls, after heavy rains in Arizona. It doesn’t happen often but is spectacular to see when it does.

I found another Hedgehog, all alone, almost hidden, when a hint of pink showed out in the desert.

The Buckhorn are starting to bloom. Often they lag behind wildflowers and I think they are beautiful. But don’t bump up against them!
