We
had a fabulous day on Susan's Birthday, June 26th. Our Nature Walk
around Medical Lake was great.
We
brought my mother out to celebrate with us. About half way through
we spotted two Mule Deer. They were drinking down by the shore. When
they saw us, they disappeared, later appearing ahead of us on the
path about 40 yards away. Unfortunately I was unable to get a
photograph. |
| The
other interesting thing was seeing baby turtles. (Now I grew up on
Spokane's famed "south side," close to Manito
Park. In the
summer, I was always down there; or over at Cannon Hill Park. I saw
lots of turtles, but never any babies.) Today, there were many
turtles basking in the warmth of the sun, and suddenly, close to the
shoreline, we spotted quite a few baby turtles. Again, I was unable
to shoot my camera fast enough.
The
City of Medical Lake has renovated the so called official City
Park called Coney Island,
and they really did a great job. As we neared the end of our walk,
we showed the Park to my mother who was with us, and to our
surprise, there were all the Geese and their goslings. I managed a
couple of pictures, and as you look at these, you'll agree that the
goslings are almost as big as their parents. |
