Where I live there's a big open space behind my house I can walk the dogs. It's pretty nice that the county set it aside for that, as things are getting pretty built-up around here now and it's a great place to take the dogs out. I would like to let these mut's run free, but Ollie the bigger dog my wife picked up as a puppy, grew up to be a complete narrow minded renegade and thinks he want's to go be the boss dog to the coyotes around and Bella doesn't stay close off the leash and I'm real sure she can't get away from any danger that she would encounter. There always something to see out there in the way of wild creatures. In this flowered bush (circled) I saw this robin on the wrong side of the sun, but zooming in close will improve the image and knock out the suns glare some, which I took with one hand on the camera and the other hanging on to two dogs who just wanna keep moving. The rains we've had will create a nice little place for the ducks and other water loving birds to hang out and you can hear the sound of many seasonal frog in this little wetland that will dry up in around 3 months, pending rainfall. There's also a cattail marsh for the red wing back birds to bring up their next generation, but there is also a little grove of trees next to it, that some hawks and falcons will sit in and dive down and ambush these red wing black birds and their young when they first clime up to the tops of the cattails. I've enjoyed and observed the seasonal cycle of this place for about 29 years now and there's always something going on out there that isn't apart of all the urban sprawl and massive growth going on everywhere else around it.
