Today's Walk

It was a lovely day today. Nice and warm with beautiful blue skies most of the day. (By evening, the clouds moved in and we had showers about seven o'clock.)

I had recorded last night's Bull Riding so that we could watch both the Seahawks game and the Gonzaga basketball game. It was so nice to see both of our home teams win. But that meant we ended up watching the recorded Bull Riding this morning, then watching the Finals this evening.

I walked out along the perimeter fence in the back of the resort this afternoon. I spotted this Road Runner on the other side of the fence. He was doing the usual "you can't see me if I stand still" routine. He would run about ten feet and then freeze before moving again.

I never did get him to turn his/her head to the side so I could see if there was any color (males) on the cheek.

 We continue to have this hummingbird (we believe it's an Anna's) guarding the Palo Verde tree by Auntie Violet. He chases away any other hummingbird that dares to come into what he seems to consider "his" territory. Between sips from the feeder, he perches up in the tree, on guard.
