Bring a little water to the desert and it can be gorgeous!

 

 

Best grass I have ever seen around here

 

 

A little color goes a long way

Walked down to Canada Place during my lunch hour today as the Oosterdam was in port. As you can see, they are hard at work. ;)

The aliens have landed. :)

 

This fellow, observed from our balcony, looks a little alien as well :D

Love the lizard. We have little guys (about 4 inches long) called gekkos that we see on our wall sometimes - but they're so fast I've never been able to get a picture.

No such problem with this one - it sits quite still for ages :)

Where do all the wonderful tulips grow? :)

[Tweedy]

I'm guessing these were taken around Mt Vernon, WA. Every spring they have a Tulip Festival and it gets very busy.

You are correct. We got there at 7:30 am yesterday to beat the crowds including the bus loads from Vancouver, BC :cool:

this is what it is like before it gets REALLY crowded in the afternoon!

Last week we saw a fox by the side of the road, this week we saw a deer

I'll join the animal theme.

 

Classic squirrel pose on the new feeder. Built the feeder and filled it. Probably a mistake. If we ever stop filling it I can picture a line of angry squirrels marching up the hill to the house armed with tiny pitchforks and torches.

Of course you built a squirrel feeder and not a bird feeder. :D

I miss squirrels (grew up in Michigan). We don't have many here in the Texas desert - a few ground squirrels but I don't see them very often. We do have a hummingbird feeder and I've had one fly down and look in the window if it was empty.

If I built a bird feeder, the squirrels would just raid it anyway. I just eliminated a step!;)
