It was a really nice, quiet, Sunday walk. It hasn't been quiet at home. We've been dealing with the house right being us removing several palm trees with the constant brattle of two chainsaws. Some of these trees exceed 70' in height but I've never really done the math. You can be the judge, the guy in the photo had already topped the one tree and there's about another 8' below this image. It would have been nice if these trees were pruned of dead fronds from the get go over the past 65 years but they weren't and they have been a nightmare for years, falling in our yard and on our roof, sometimes a dozen or more at once. Go in the back yard and put your life in jeopardy.
Onto pictures from the walk...

I believe this is a female, Hairy woodpecker (Dryobates villosus).
Thanks for taking a look. Remember to look up from time to time when you're out walking around.
You’re right . There’s so much beauty out there if only we take the time to look. I’m glad you do . Great stuff !
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the palms are coming down at last (and in the right way).
