It's Lovely in Loveland

Yes, it is lovely in Loveland this time of the year. We started our walk around the nearby lakes at 9 AM, and it was 65 degrees outside. When we checked the weather for Phoenix, we saw they are predicting 110 degrees this weekend. This confirms why we leave before the heat sets in! We pass by fields of Blue Flax and yellow Salsify flowers.

I manage to get Don, Tatum and Nate to stop a minute so I can take a quick picture. Okay, Tatum, am I that funny looking that you have to giggle? Just deal with it!

It was a great nature walk this morning. We saw osprey, pelicans, geese, rabbits, fish, a frog, Killdeer birds, redwing blackbirds, a Western Grebe and even a beaver weaving it’s way among the cattails in the pond today!

One of our finds: a broken Robin’s egg along the path.

Nate checks out one of the informative signs along the way. Don't know whether the grass is itching him or he is doing a flamingo impression.

I loved this picture of the pelican with the snow capped Rockies in the distance. For the people still at home in Arizona, does the snow make ya feel just a tad bit cooler? If not, you may have to concentrate a little harder.......If all else fails, I'll send you the picture via email, which you can print out and paste on your window!
