2013 03 29 Walk up Barkley Trails

The robins are always a good sign of Spring.

Beautiful blue sky with just enough breeze to ruffle the flags.

A little fun with “curve” photo effects.

Beautiful Bellingham in the background, beautiful Spring in the front.

Lunchtime Wildlife

A quick walk to the post office via the Barkley trail system and got to watch this beautiful hawk. I was definitely being watched right back and shortly after I started taking pictures he took off.

This three legged squirrel was quite a bit more cheeky and chirped and complained until I moved on down the trail.

Foggy Whatcom County Sunset

A few weeks ago there was such an amazing foggy sunset we just had to pull the car over and snap some pictures. Taken by Willys Lake Rd Ferndale

Today started out with some heavy Winter like hail and wind. By lunchtime the sun had come out and Spring was back.

Walk on Barkley

blisscodisco — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 15:35:01 +0000

Railroad trail and down Barkley Blvd.

The fungus type plants are thriving on our damp weather.

There was bunches of tiny birds enjoying the berries but they were to hard to capture with the point and shoot camera. The berries, however, cooperated and stayed still for some pictures.

More fungus or a lichen? and of course the invasive ivy that grows everywhere.

Look closely at this picture. It was taken off of Barkley Blvd just as it starts leveling off. Can you tell what this is? If you guessed Treadmill you are correct. It is out in the middle of a field. Curious what the story was on it…New Years resolution gone bad? Oh the stories it could tell.

A Good Day for a Walk

Even when it is cold and damp out there are still many sights to see.

The Killdeers are running around making their nests in gravel parking lots.

And there are twisted trees.

and trees that grew around fences.

The deer are munching lawns and rose bushes. Yup a good day for a walk.
