Monday: Pelican Pond
Apr. 17th, 2024 07:38 pmWe actually had a string of nice days that overlapped my weekend, so we were able to go out for a walk on Monday.
We went to Pelican Pond.
Bella even got to go for a nice little wade along the shore. (Though she looks so serious, haha.)
We left Cy at home, since even fairly easy walks are too much for him these days. He gets tired pretty quickly, and I know his joints and feet start to hurt. Plus he's so unsteady, I worry about him falling and really hurting himself. Of course, that didn't stop him from looking at us like we were monsters for leaving him.
Probably the most exciting thing we got to see: an immature bald eagle! (It had most of its adult plumage, but still some mottling along the head rather than the very stark white. Another gentleman who'd stopped to take pictures said he'd guess it's around 4 years old.) We weren't close enough to get great pictures, but it's still exciting to me to see eagles at all. It doesn't feel like it was that long ago that they were a rarity.
( 8 more pictures: )
It was nice to get to go for a good walk. I'm beyond ready for the cold and wind and threats of snow to end!
