Enjoying Lake Tomahawk

 

Last week I walked early in the day. This week I haven''t walked yet at all.




Mallards taking a break (some of them are the ducklings from the last month.)

While starlings swooped in and out of the area of the underside of the balcony/porch, this little guy just sat on his favorite perch and groomed himself. Some orange on his neck was evident, though the camera didn't catch it. 





And after our walk last Wednesday, we headed for this lovely bakery!

Instead of a croisant, this time I had an apple muffin, with lots of crunchy topping.

      THanks...do Barn Swallows have that orange chin? I am staying away from muffins this week. Have a great day.

    Another fine little tour. Except for the bakery. I am hungry and jealous.

      It's sort of a nice way to take photos then keep walking and I never get out of breath. Not sure it's good enough exercise for the food afterwards...

    ...as I get older, a bench is a welcomed sight!

      There are times with others will suddenly sit on the next bench, and I have to grin and bear it and just keep walking.

    The swallow is so pretty. So is that muffin! Your lake looks like a scenic place for walking.

      It is, and one of these days soon I'll just keep walking and won't take any photos at all!

    The bench is where you would find me after a walk around the lake. The lake is very nice and looks peaceful. You look fabulous in the new header, I like it.

    Looking at your post the lyrics to "peaceful easy feeling" came to me. What a great post, full of nature and life.

      Oh now I've got that ear worm. Not a bad one to take to bed with me tonight, while thunder rumbles outdoors.

      It mostly is whenever I've walked. Some runners that lap me several times. Some doggie walkers. Some visiting couples, you can tell because they're talking to each other!

    Beautiful views of the lake. I'm having a harder time getting walks in because of the heat. Mmm, that apple muffin looks delicious!
