My Walk With Bailey

I got a new phone last week. As you will see, it has a camera. It is much easier to carry and use for quick snapshots. So, I thought I'd give you a sense of what was happening around our neighborhood this weekend. It was dry, luckily, and mild. The birds are back and the plants are starting to wake up to a new season....



This is the primary view when we go for a walk. It's his best side....



Even though February ended just last week, we are already seeing signs of spring.


and signs of another kind too. I always expect discolored water when flushing....

This picture didn't turn out so well, but you can still see that these trees are going to really bloom this coming week.



Little patches of color starting to push their way out of the ground.


A small bridge spans this mighty waterway. It's part of the path that cuts between two neighborhoods on the way to the dog treat store. There was a good two feet of water flowing in this stream during the January monsoons.



Such vibrant color!



As with just about every neighborhood around here, they are squeezing more and more people in. Where do they all come from???? This little area, less than an acre, is zoned for 18 units!



Daffodils are usually the first to announce the beginning of the new season.
We came around a corner and this was the fanfare that greeted us. Sending out the message loud, bright and clear.



These guys may have been hidden by the fence, but they aren't bashful. They were strutting their stuff!
