More walking and more doctor's appts.

Finally getting around to doing this. Most of these pictures are from a walk I took a week and a half ago. Got in only two miles that day. These quail were sitting on our shed in the back yard. They hang around here most days. 

On into the Wetlands. More and more trees getting their blooms. 
These weird looking blooms are on a Mesquite tree. 
This leads to the Boardwalk pond, one of my favorite places in the park. Always some kind of fish, turtle or bird to see there. 
One of the dirt trails has this cement area on it. There is a Thunderbird decapitated on it. 
That trail leads to the Hidden Pond, and it is hidden. Took a while the first time to find it. A couple people have told me they've seen beavers in it REAL EARLY in the morning. Like 5:30 when it is just getting light. Someday hope to see them. There are over 80 beavers in the park in the different ponds.
Just looking up through the tree at the bright blue sky.
Really weird bark on this tree.
Another pond. Another bird. 
He was at same pond. Hard to believe all this is in the desert in Vegas. 
One of the bigger ponds. 
Cut it down and it grows back. 
And one more pond. 
He lives here. 
Over by the Nature Center building I managed to catch this mama and her many babies. 
A road runner, doing what he does best. Running. 
Almost home, the playground trees are also blooming. 
The climbing wall for children in the playground. 
Our Palo Verde tree is in full bloom. Took this last night when the sun was going down and lighting it up in spectacular fashion.
Our weather is in a strange phase lately. Temperatures from 95 to 100 and chance of rain every day for the next week. We didn't get any rain but parts of the valley had thunder showers. 
I've started another 1000 piece puzzle. Working on it slowly. Getting the easy part done first. The rest of it is blue sky and blueish water. 
I have no idea what he is doing, but at least he can kind of see to do it. 
Today he gets his second shot in eye, hope it improves the eye as much as the first one did. But I have to call the doctors office because in the last two days they've sent me three texts with different appointment times??? Called them, to my surprise he has two appointments today. One for getting pictures of inside of eyes then one for shot...And said the third time they sent me just ignore...Going to be a hot ride - up to 100 today. Ugh!
