Parks

On our way to a park that I knew as a stop for coffee sips and word drips , I took an early turn and went through a bigger park with baseball fields. Boys in green and girls in red uniforms for a practice on sunday morning.
A big broad tree with leaves of a eucalyptus but the mental image of a skinny trunk not letting the tree in front of me be named. Broad trunk Eucalyptus.
Killdeer. gum. Xeriscaped garden across with a pathway that I want to take next time.

We stopped at a fountain in a pond too. Mallards with their heads looking purple when they come into sight and green when away. On the left side of the pond some birds are sunning themselve slike cormorants. We wait for them to move. Swallow kites by on the pond.

nature

Day before yesterday a hawk was circling low above the corner of a building. Its wing spread was all white underneath.

A teenager on a small bike with another standing behind her. A reminder of circus cyclists.

A ground bush raised like a cave.

I was surprised to find a sparrow sitting on a hummingbird feeder trying to decode the entry to food treasure.

Two big brown dogs with trim belly like a lions.

Walk around the park

A small lizard dead on the path. The ones that scurry. Now frozen. My husband recalled a saying that lizards are after you, even dead with the poison in them.
New shoots of eucalyptus.

The garbage truck turns around at the dead end with such speed that along with th wind, plastic bags swirl up in the air and land at neighbor's tree in the front yard.

This weekend during birdwatching at Gilbert Water Ranch, a kid picked up an insect in his hand. The black bug curled up.
