Entrance to the Gilbert Riparian Park.
Sophie and I usually enter from one of the pond sides,
so we always missed this beautiful
fallin' water entrance.
A crowd of professional photographers were hidden in the bushes,
side by side,
taking photos of this egret.
I called her 'Bella Donna' - she reminded me of Stevie Nicks dancing.
And no one paid attention to this stilt bird-
an American Avocet.
His only company was his reflection.

beautiful photos, but I especially love the 1st one! WoW! Love the perspective, right down in the middle of the stream
I see what you mean about the one reminding you of Stevie Nicks - Bella Donna is the perfect name for that one!
I'm as impressed with your knowledge of nature related items, as I am with your awesome photos.
the pic of the avocet is awesome!
Great photographs Brenda.

The Avocet and his reflection are awesome!
I can't believe you have all that water, wildlife and a lawn, too! I'm definitely living at the wrong end of the desert!
great photos!
Thanks for the info on your camera, I'm keeping it for the day I can afford a new one.
Nice photos. That looks like a wonderful place to walk. Nice call on the egret. :-)
I love that Avocet photo!
Wonderful and the avocet is my favorite. You and Sophie see the best sights!
I heart the stilt bird.
I might have heard of an Avocet, but I sure had no mental picture of one. Interesting, cool-looking bird! Thanks.
That park looks great. Our tax dollars at work, I assume. I wonder how the "I-hate-any-tax" fanatics would spend that money if it were returned to their pockets.
A suburb near me is about to lose its 10-acre nature center, its library, and nice, nice community center because the citizens voted down a millage. And that's a normally enlightened town. Hope they enjoy their extra carton of 7-Up. And maybe a hot dog.
Sorry to be political, but there's so much I just don't understand . . .
Hey Brenda,
Stumpy's kennel door is 13x16. The berner manages that quite easily. What are you saying?
Beautiful pictures! Maybe one morning we will meet you walking on the trails!
